MAY 2025

Vaccines—Calling the Shots

Friday, May 16, 6:30 pm, MLK Room/Zoom

Diseases that were largely eradicated in the United States a generation ago are returning, and the Nova presentation, Vaccines—Calling the Shots, by Director Sonya Pemberton, explores the ‘why,’ starting with the science behind vaccinations, the rise of vaccine refusal, and the effect it can have on the health of both the individuals and communities.

The documentary takes viewers around the world to track epidemics and shed light on opting out as well as stripping away the drama, misinformation, and name-calling that halt serious debate on what has become a public health crisis in developing world countries.

After the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.
