April Meeting: Vaccine Basics

A huge thank you to Dr. Kim for a wonderful presentation on vaccines. It was a great evening full of information and discussion. Notes from the meeting will be posted on the members-only Yahoo group.

What people are saying about the meeting:
"Thanks so much for arranging the topic last night! While much of the information was familiar, I definitely learned a few things and for that I'm appreciative. I thought Dr. Kim did a wonderful job .... Her view of it as an independent, personal decision for each family and their views/circumstances was very respectful. Great info. Great meeting! Thanks again!!"

"I also liked the way she presented it as questions to ask yourself or of the vaccines to help make a decision (ie It is important to me that there are live vaccines and what does that mean?). Thanks so much for setting this up and all your hard work to make it happen!"

" Dr. Kim was SO professional - I was REALLY impressed with her!"
