The Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute often receives telephone calls and emails from concerned people seeking input on how they can get involved educating others about vaccines. Here are a few ideas that can make a difference in the lives of parents and children everywhere.
- Write an editorial in your local newspaper or an article for a national magazine.
- Contact local talk-radio stations and request guest speakers on vaccines. Be prepared with one or two contact names and telephone numbers or emails.
- Start your own vaccine support organization.
- Develop a newsletter. Include information that you've researched, or solicit articles and data from other individuals and organizations.
- Organize a vaccine lecture.
- Purchase vaccine educational materials for resale. (New Atlantean Press can provide generous discounts on wholesale purchases of the vaccine books that they publish. Call 505-983-1856 for more information.)
- Write your legislators. Let them know that you are concerned about vaccine laws. Try to influence legislation to provide better options for concerned parents.
- Contact local public health officials and/or social workers to let them know that you are available as a vaccine resource for concerned parents.
- Contact local and/or national TV stations and request stories on children who have been damaged by vaccines, or investigations into exaggerated pro-vaccine claims.
- Send information to pregnant celebrities or to famous people who you have reason to believe may be receptive to your data.
- Coordinate your efforts with other vaccine organizations.
- Purchase books from the Thinktwice Bookstore or Make a Contribution to the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute. Your support will help us to publish important vaccine information and continually improve this website to reach more people.
These are just a few ideas; you may have some of your own about how to increase vaccine risk-awareness and improve parental options. Remember, parents and children need your support. You can make a difference.
