Immunize South Dakota and South Dakota Families for Vaccines hosted a virtual advocacy summit focused on strengthening participants’ voices, messages, and impact. Uniting for Immunization: Empowering Vaccine Advocates brought together national and regional experts to share practical strategies, timely insights, and real-world examples from vaccine advocacy efforts.

Participants examined national vaccine policy trends, learned how to tell clear, authentic stories that build trust, and explored how to use data to support evidence-based decisions. Attendees left with useful tools, renewed confidence, and new connections to advance immunization priorities—even in conservative and politically challenging environments.
