Advocacy Your Way
Advocacy doesn’t have to mean writing to your Congressional member or making signs for rallies – it can be as simple as a conversation. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Talk to your children or family
Have you ever had a conversation with your children about your experiences with vaccines? Not telling them whether to vaccinate, but just what you remember from your childhood. This can be the first step in a broader conversation about the value of vaccines.
Talk to a friend or neighbor
Vaccines - and outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases - are in the news a lot these days. The next time you read an article or watch a news segment about vaccines, talk to a friend or neighbor about it. You don’t have to comment on the news, but you can say, “You know, I remember when I was a kid…” You might be surprised to learn they have their own story!
Talk to a school
Local schools are often looking for people who have an interesting story to tell children, whether it’s about their lives, their jobs, or the lessons they’ve learned in life. Call the local principal or a teacher you know and ask whether you can tell your story about vaccines to their students. You never know who you might inspire! Contact your PTA or PSO President and schedule a time to speak with parents, sharing vaccine story and hearing their perspectives.
