How to submit a question to Ask the Experts
You can email your question about vaccines or immunization to IAC at admin@immunize.org. IAC will respond to your email inquiry.
Note: As we receive hundreds of emails each month, we cannot guarantee that we will use your question in the Ask the Experts feature. IAC works with CDC to compile new Ask the Experts Q&As for our publications based on commonly asked questions. Most of the questions are thus a composite of several inquiries.
