What is Vacc-u-cation?
Vacc-u-cation is an education on the science of vaccines. A rise in misunderstanding of what vaccines do and what they contain has occurred in the United States and other countries. Vacc-u-cation's goal is to educate people on not just why it's important to vaccinate, but how they work to help keep people safe.

I am a science teacher, and I have shared this video with my students in our cell unit to help them learn more about how the cells use vaccines to create immunity to diseases.
Elizabeth Wise
Very nice work Brekke! I’m a troop leader and a cancer survivor. Email me and I’d love to share my positive experience with you. There aren’t enough character spaces to share my vaccine story here. :)
Lisa Skodack-Jones
Very well done and a great easy to understand. This is a very timely and important topic as evidenced by the recent measles outbreak in this country.
Carrie
Great job making it easy to understand! :) I shared it on my Facebook
HollyRobbins
This is nothing anybody hasn't heard before. Where do I find you justifying the injecting of mercury and formaldehyde into my kid's body? Why not address the elephant in the room DIRECTLY.
Tinkerbell DeNeverland
Thank you for your concern. I have now addressed this in the FAQ at the end. Please check it out, and thank you for making the site better.
Amber Roberts
Great job spreading the truth and importance of vaccines!
Karen Greco, PhD, RN, ANP-BC, FAAN, FAANP
Great job! The number of health professionals commenting is a testament to the importance of the topic you have chosen and the impact your program can have.
Jane Henry
Marvelous video! I work in pharmacy, and this is great! Thank you for making it.
Diane R. Mueller, RN, FNP-BC
This is just an excellent explanation of vaccines. Evidence based and very entertaining. You should share with key audiences such as pediatricians, school nurses, etc.
Kimberlee Sing
As a scientist, I appreciate your project! All the points you make are easy to understand, very informative, and I learned something new today. Proud to be a girl scout!
Jacky Adelstein
Also :) If you have a facebook page link to it here and if not - make one!
Jacky Adelstein
SO GREAT! Ideas 1) make social sharing easier to find 2) Highlight some of the information contained in the site on the landing page and link directly from there, not only from your nav. LOVE IT!
AW
As a Pediatrician and Girl Scout troop leader I applaud your efforts. Great work!
Ted
Awesome! Excellent job. I hope that your letter to your local Representative will lead to some much needed change.
John E. Kaplan Ph.D.
I have linked your page to the Facebook page of the Alden March Bioethics Institute at Albany Medical College. Great job.

hi brekke
Tausha
Keep up the good work! We need this education available to everyone! This is so incredibly important!
Karen Rockwell
Fantastic work! You have summarized the information very well, and your FAQ section has good answers and resources. (I am a biomedical researcher with a PhD in immunology - you got the info right)
Daniel
Great job with the site and trying to educate the ignorant. If it changes just 1 mind, you've been successful. Obviously I hope for more than just 1 mind changed, but everything starts small.
Jennifer
Well done from Canada!
Danyelle
I love that you set this up in an easy to navigate format and kept it all informative with links to the sources. Can you add in a section on recommended vaccines during pregnancy in your FAQ area?
Teresa Bair
Well done! Congratulations on a carefully designed account of how vaccinations work! My hope is that your video will go viral. We are in great need to circulate this education!
LA
Thank you! Great work!! You are doing a great thing
Beckie Pitts
One thing you might add if you can is what else is in the syringe, like preservatives. Parents are very afraid of it.
Tinkerbell DeNeverland
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will add that to the FAQ section soon.
Beckie Pitts
I love this! I think it could be very valuable to parents of newborns who do not wish to vaccinate their babies.
