The Vaccine War
The show airs locally on OPB next Tuesday, 4/27, at 10:00pm.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/vaccines/?utm_campaign=homepage&utm_medium=proglist&utm_source=proglist

Vaccines have changed the world, largely eradicating a series of
terrible diseases, from smallpox to polio to diphtheria, and likely
adding decades to most of our life spans. But despite the gains-and
numerous scientific studies indicating vaccine safety-a growing movement
of parents remains fearful of vaccines. And in some American
communities, significant numbers of parents have been rejecting vaccines
altogether, raising new concerns about the return of vaccine-preventable
diseases like measles and whooping cough.

In The Vaccine War, airing Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at 9 P.M. ET on PBS
(check local listings), FRONTLINE lays bare the science of vaccine
safety and examines the increasingly bitter debate between the public
health establishment and a formidable populist coalition of parents,
celebrities, politicians and activists who are armed with the latest
social media tools, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, and are
determined to resist pressure from the medical and public health
establishments to vaccinate, despite established scientific consensus
about vaccine safety.

On behalf of the American Public Health Association (APHA), it is my
pleasure to announce the call for applications for the 2011 APHA Public
Health Fellowship in Government (

fourth year that APHA is offering this fellowship which ha

described as an *amazing* and *phenomenal* experience by previous
fellows. Candidates must have strong public health credentials and be
interested in spending one year in Washington, D.C. working in a
congressional office on legislative and policy issues related to health,
the environment or other public health concerns.  The fellowship will

provides a unique learning experience and demonstrates the value and
need for basing policy on sound science.  Throughout the year, the
fellow will gain a practical knowledge of government and how the public
policy process works.  
Applications and additional information are available at

8TH UCLA Conference on Public Health and Disasters
For several years we have been preparing for mass population
emergencies, but in the last 12 months alone all of our plans have been
challenged simultaneously.   In addition to the nation's recurring
flood, storm and wildfire hazards, we have endured two devastating
earthquakes in the western hemisphere and a global influenza pandemic. 
Our impacted health systems and disaster response capacities have been
stressed as never before.  But even as our preparedness needs increase,
we are challenged to sustain and continually improve these activities
while faced with ongoing funding challenges. 
  
Join your colleagues from public health, local and national government,
hospital preparedness, EMS, emergency management and public safety as we
convene the 8th UCLA National Conference on Public Health and Disasters
from May 17-19 in Los Angeles.  We have maintained our Early
Registration fee at $395: the same level as our preceding three years. 
Registration includes three days of practical sessions by world-class
presenters, continuing education, conference materials, meals, and our
ever popular "Dinner and a Disaster Movie" presentation. 
 
The Conference relates to all Areas of Responsibility for Health
Educators and is designated for the CHES to receive up to 14 Category I
CECH in Health Education. 
  
This event is sponsored by the Pacific Public Health Training Center, a
designated provider of continuing education contact hours (CECH) in
health education by the National Commission for Health Education
Credentialing, Inc.  PPHTC Provider # CA1162; NCHEC Provider Number:
