# How Vaccines Work: They Really are Good and Safe
July 23rd, 2025
7pm - 9pm
In Person
Location: Sceptre Brewing Arts, 630 East Lake Dr, Suite E, Decatur, GA 30030
## Description
Your immune system exists to defend your body against things that can infect you, without knowing in advance what those pathogens could be. How does it do this? By being Nature’s most effective engine of controlled, but very fast, evolution. We take advantage of this ability when we make vaccines, which have saved more lives than all other medicines combined.
Here you will learn how vaccines work, and how they are evaluated and approved. Have doubts about vaccines? Worried about additives, or that vaccines might make your children sick or give them autism? You’re not alone – come and ask questions!
## Featured Speaker:
Speaker: M.G. Finn, Professor, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and School of Biological Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology
