Vaccine Awareness Week, November 1-7

The first week of November is, unofficially, Vaccine Awareness Week – at least according to anti-vaccine activists Barbara Loe Fisher and Joe Mercola. We at science-based medicine thought it would be a good idea to have our own science-based vaccine awareness week. Many of our fellow science bloggers are on board as well. We will use this site at aggregate as many science-based posts about vaccines and public health as we find. If you have or know of any that are not listed, please let us know in the comments and we will add it.
