Vaccine communication has always been challenging, from the belief that one might sprout horns and hooves from the smallpox vaccine, to the misconception that vaccines cause autism, to current confusion when immunization guidelines diverge from the recommendations of established medical and public health authorities. Students preparing for careers across the health sciences—nursing, medicine, physician assistant, veterinary, dental, and allied health programs—need tools to address questions about vaccine safety and efficacy. Every student will face these conversations with friends and family in a world where loved ones may be influenced by misinformation. This roundtable guides participants through scaffolded learning activities designed to help students navigate these tricky discussions. Participants then engage in a role-play simulating vaccine conversations with individuals who are curious, cautious, or convinced, in either a clinical or personal setting. Participants will leave with all scaffolding activities and an outline for adapting the activity for their courses.
