Students for Herd Immunity
Health

Students for Herd Immunity is a federal not-for-profit organization working to bridge gaps in early vaccine education and engage students to tackle vaccine hesitancy at the grassroots level. Students for Herd Immunity's ambassadorship program is a 5-session program aimed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to bring accurate and age-appropriate information about vaccines to the classroom. Developed in consultation with educators from the Harvard Teacher Fellows, Toronto District School Board, and Teach for America, Students for Herd Immunity's ambassadorship program helps prepare middle school, high school, and college students to lead conversations about vaccines and vaccination efforts in their local communities.
