Visionaries, Inc. is a producer of documentaries highlighting the rarely told stories of nonprofit organizations that
are working to make positive differences
in their communities and beyond.
As part its 24th season,
Visionaries selected the Immunization Action Coalition to be one of
twelve featured stories offered to public
television stations during
2020–21.
Filming was done over five days in
Saint Paul, Minnesota, during February
2020. The documentary also includes
footage from filming in 1995
when Dr. Wexler was forming and developing IAC as a premier provider
of |
|
immunization education materials
to the nation's healthcare providers.
The film weaves the story of
Dr. Wexler’s personal commitment to
spreading the benefits of vaccination
with a great deal of information on
vaccines and their delivery, including
the challenges presented by anti-vaccination messaging.
The viewer is taken on a ride
through IAC’s history that begins with
the nation’s 1989–90 measles epidemic
to its current work being
carried out by an extraordinary staff
of national experts.
