The Center, through its website, social media, podcasts, informational tear sheets, e-newsletters, webinars and speaker programs, seeks to dispel some of the common misconceptions and misinformation surrounding vaccines. The goals are to communicate the facts about each vaccine as well as how vaccines are made, how and why vaccines work, who recommends them, whether they are safe, whether they are still necessary, and when they should be given. The center has also developed educational materials for elementary, middle, high school and college students. The Vaccine Education Center is funded by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The Center does not receive support from vaccine manufacturers.
