Vaccine Conversation with Concerned Grandparents Group


January 28, 2026

“Their lives and safety are under threat, and who better than their grandparents to stand up for them and protect them?”

Dr. Arthur Lavin founded Grandparents for Vaccines in 2025 to give grandparents the chance to share stories of how vaccines changed their lives and ensure today’s generation of children is protected from preventable illnesses and diseases. It began as a direct response to the rise of concern among parents about vaccines, which is causing increasing fear among well-meaning new parents who want to do right by their kids and leading to fewer and fewer kids being immunized — not just in North Dakota but all across the country.
