The June 2023 Vaccine Forum is the Immunization Coalition of Los Angeles County’s (ICLAC) general educational session. The series' goal is for Los Angeles County partnering organizations to share the latest vaccine guidance and best practices to improve immunization coverage, especially among those at the highest risk in Los Angeles County.
We will be featuring two award-winning films, "Shot In The Arm" and "Vaccinate Watts", to highlight two perspectives on the challenges brought on by the pandemic, including fighting disinformation, community engagement and more.

About "SHOT IN THE ARM - Disinformation is its own Disease"
Before anyone had heard of COVID-19, filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy (THE GARDEN, FOOD EVOLUTION) began investigating the global measles epidemic. Filming with top public health officials–including Tony Fauci–as well as rare interviews with anti-vaccine activists who were persuading parents by the millions to refuse vaccines for their children.
Then COVID-19 happened.
Acting quickly, Kennedy shifted his directorial eye to this once-in-a-century tragedy. Both skeptical and hopeful, SHOT IN THE ARM explores vaccine hesitancy historically and in the context of our modern pandemic. Can we replace cynicism with healthy curiosity and bridge the political divides that make us sick?
Executive Producers: Neil deGrasse Tyson and Scott Hamilton Kennedy
