Exploring maternal immunisation: learning from the past to inform the present
Series of activities using historical materials related to infection during pregnancy and maternal vaccination to engage with the public in London and North-East England. The collaboration between historians and healthcare professionals aims to use the past as a springboard for contemporary conversations.
We aim to:
- Place maternal immunisation within a longer historical tradition and unpack narratives around risk.
- Create a safe space for conversations about maternal vaccination, addressing myths and misinformation.
- Use historical public health materials to examine contemporary messages and inform future communication strategies.
The initiative seeks to foster a better understanding and uptake of maternal vaccination by connecting historical insights with modern healthcare practices, encouraging informed and meaningful discussions.
A collaboration between IMPRINT Network, Queen Mary University of London and Teesside University.
