Grandparents for Vaccines is gaining momentum in Southeast Missouri, and Community Outreach Coordinator and Public Information Officer at the S7 Health Department, Shawnna Rhine, says the initiative is all about empowering older adults to help protect their families. Rhine explains that grandparents often play a pivotal role in family health decisions, and this campaign encourages them to stay informed, share accurate vaccine information, and lead by example. Through outreach events, educational materials, and community conversations, the program aims to strengthen trust, improve vaccination rates, and support healthier households across the region.
