DCAAP was excited to host Dr. Anthony Fauci as the keynote speaker for our May 8th Spring Symposium on The Power of Prevention: The Past and Future of Pediatric Vaccinations. Dr. Fauci reminded us of how important immunizations and ongoing vaccine research are to keeping kids healthy, “Much Accomplished, More to Do.”

Following the keynote, a dynamic panel provided a diverse perspective on the current vaccine landscape, featuring local and national experts from DC’s Department of Health, Children’s National Hospital, the Association of Immunization Managers (AIM) and a local parent.

Finally, Dr. Shelly Fiscus, former medical director of Tennessee’s Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program and now Chief Medical Officer at AIM, shared her journey of resilience, underscoring the urgency of continued action in the fight for immunization access and education.
