ForwardHot Topics in Public Health: The Changing Vaccine Enterprise: Viewpoints of Wisconsin’s Former Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Members
Overview
The "Hot Topics in Public Health" symposium series is a forum designed to provide up-to-date information on emerging issues in public health. The series adopts various formats for education, including panel discussions, scholarly presentations, and audience-based question-and-answer sessions. Hot topics are selected by a steering committee of public health professionals, population health researchers, and clinicians at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. This session highlights the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation in the United States and provides background information on the health consequences of loneliness, tools for screening, and approaches to reduce loneliness.
This session will explore how vaccine safety and effectiveness are assessed, as well as how evidence is translated into immunization recommendations. Presenters will discuss the historical and current evidence‑to‑recommendation processes used by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The panel will also examine how clinicians and public health entities apply vaccine recommendations in practice. Speakers Ed Belongia, MD, Paul Hunter, MD, and a representative from the Preventive Medicine Residency program will each provide a 15–20 minute presentation, followed by a moderated Q&A. Attendees will gain insight into the evolution of ACIP practices and learn where to locate key resources for immunization practice. The event will be held both in person at the Health Sciences Learning Center (Room 1345) and via Zoom.
