Navigating New Terrain: Keeping Up to Date with Evolving Vaccine Guidance
3/3/2026 - 3/3/2026
12:00 PM - 1:15 PM PST






Event Description


Date: Tuesday, March 3rd 
Time: 12-1:15 PM PT

Description: 

The past year has brought significant changes to longstanding vaccine recommendations and guidelines, creating uncertainty for clinicians, health plans, and the community. Shifts in policy from previously well-trusted sources can raise confusion, doubt, and questions about what practice changes are appropriate—or necessary. Join leaders from Washington State for a timely conversation on how they are navigating this evolving landscape. Panelists will discuss how their organizations interpret new information, determine when and how to adjust clinical or operational practices, and communicate updates clearly and confidently to patients, clients, and provider networks. 

Together, we will explore how to maintain trust amid uncertainty, ensure continued and equitable access to vaccines, and support communities with accurate, evidence-based information so individuals and families can make informed decisions about their care.
