The Future of Vaccines
Summary
Since the beginning of March, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a rippling effect on the entirety of the healthcare industry, resulting in reduced accessibility and affordability of services to certain communities around the world. Here at Raintree, our mission is “making healthcare efficient, accessible and affordable for everyone”, which are values that tie closely to the awareness and advocacy for vaccines. That is why we wanted to share with you a variety of helpful resources and guides that are aimed to educate, inspire and motivate you to learn more about vaccinations as well as encourage others. This timeline showcases over 1000 years of history, starting with early Chinese inoculation and tracking the different epidemics that have occurred all around the world including smallpox, yellow fever, polio, tuberculosis and even rabies. Read this article from Healio News and Frank Destefano (author for CDC’s Immunization Safety Office) that goes over some of the most common myths and facts about vaccinations.
