Description:

Join us for a free community screening of the powerful documentary, "Hilleman: A Perilous Quest to Save the World's Children."

About the Film: Dr. Maurice Hilleman was a visionary American microbiologist who developed more than half of the vaccines currently recommended for routine use in the United States. His life's work is credited with saving more lives than any other medical scientist in history. This film chronicles his extraordinary quest to develop vaccines against devastating diseases like mumps, measles, chickenpox, rubella, hepatitis A and B, and more. It is an inspiring story of scientific innovation, perseverance, and a deep commitment to public health.

Why We're Screening This Film: In an era of misinformation, our goal is to empower our community with knowledge and a deeper appreciation for vaccine science. This event aims to educate families and individuals about the monumental impact of vaccines on global health and the tireless work of the scientists who made it possible.

Expert Panel Discussion: Following the hour long film, we will host a live Q&A session with a panel of leading experts. This is a unique opportunity to engage in an open and informative discussion about vaccine safety, public health, and the importance of childhood immunization.
