Vaccine Debate Packs the House
Students packed the room to listen to a debate on the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations at National University — Illinois recently. The NUHS Naturopathic Medical Students Association (NMSA) sponsored the debate, which was moderated by faculty members Dr. Louise Edwards and Dr. Kristina Conner.
Four speakers, two from each side of the issue, presented their evidence for or against the use of vaccines and current vaccine policies.
Moderators and speakers encouraged students to educate themselves on both sides of the vaccine issue since, as future health professionals, they will ultimately encounter patients from both sides.
