HealthWatch: Vaccines: Past, Present and Future

Event Discussion about vaccines

With all of the recent news about measles outbreaks across the country, The DAR Needham Chapter felt it would be helpful to take a look back a few years to the polio epidemic in Boston. Join us for an illustrative look at Boston’s 1952 polio epidemic. Toni Boyle will be joining us to share her experiences with polio and post-polio syndrome and Marcia Nizzari will provide insight into the false research that was said to link autism and vaccines. Bring your questions, your stories and your opinions for this lively discussion. Lunch will be provided.

Sunday, March 8th at 1pm

Needham Historical Society: 1147 Central Avenue, Needham, MA
