The CIRE team will be tabling alongside the NDSU Department of Public Health. Stop by to say hello, learn about our educational offerings, and connect with our team—we're always excited to meet current and future partners.

We also invite you to join CIRE's presentations. Operations Director Kylie Hall, MPH, will lead two breakout sessions on vaccine ingredients on June 23 at 11:00 a.m. and June 24 at 1:15 p.m.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Together, we build healthy communities. Vaccination is one way we take care of each other and support a healthier North Dakota.

As you think about your summer plans, be sure to add vaccinations to the list! Vaccines can help protect you and your family on all your summer adventures, especially if you are traveling.

We are pleased to share the results of CIRE's 2025–2026 healthcare professional trainings. For six years, we've partnered with schools and programs across North Dakota to help prepare future healthcare professionals—from LPN students to future physicians—to have confident, evidence-based conversations about vaccines with patients.

Thank you to all the classrooms that welcomed us this year! If you're interested in bringing a training to your healthcare professional program, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected]

This past week, CIRE Operations Director Kylie Hall presented at the NDSU Biomedical Research Collaborative Forum. Her presentation explored how vaccine education and communication help bridge the gap between biomedical innovation and real-world impacts. Vaccines don't save lives, but vaccination does.

Summer just started, but now is a great time to schedule back-to-school vaccine appointments for this fall. For vaccine recommendations by age, visit bit.ly/4o1AgTw or talk with a healthcare professional.

Have you heard? 📣 CIRE is offering a free vaccine education opportunity designed to fit your schedule.

Here's what one participant had to say about this learning module: "Very well done and provided education that is not typically seen in other platforms when it comes to vaccines."
