World Malaria Day



A family speaks about their experiences with rotavirus

Family Stories

One day in May, eight families affected by vaccine preventable diseases gathered in a small studio in New Jersey to share their stories, with the hope that those watching might avoid the pain they’ve experienced.

In the U.S., it’s easy to forget about the severity, and sometimes the tragedy, of disease. It’s happening, and immunization can prevent it from happening to your family.

Each of these stories is now available in a variety of formats and lengths for use by your organization free-of-charge. Please share these videos with your community. Remind moms and dads just how important immunization is for their children, themselves, and their whole family.
