Building Resistance to Vaccine Misinformation (BRVM)

This is a project from Mount Royal University, Calgary, Alberta.

This project is aimed at designing modules for elementary school children and teens to learn about vaccines, pandemics, science, and how to spot misinformation. The hope is to “inoculate” the future generation against misinformation, and bridge the gap between science and the general public.

Officially started in July 2021, the project is continuously evolving. Full rollout is expected for Winter 2022, as modules continue to be designed and tested.

Resources include materials that can be used to teach specific elements of topics in health, science, vaccines, disease, and more!

To help combat misinformation by providing accessible modules and resources for kids, teachers, and parents about health, vaccines, and science.

We believe in a future where the gap between the general community and science / healthcare has been bridged by the current generation of children and teens.

Our logo represents children united by education and health. Each child in the logo is also an antibody, the main molecule used by the immune system to recognize pathogens such as viruses and to protect us from diseases. This is representative of our goal to increase resistance to vaccine misinformation in future generations by educating and making science fun. The colours represent our Canadian roots.
It was designed by Brendan Lazar.

We work to provide accessible summaries of the most accurate information – screened by health care professionals, researchers, educators, and other leaders – available on COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines. This summary information should not replace information from Health Canada, Alberta Health Services, or your health care providers.
