Staying Informed: A Journalist’s Take on the Illinois Department of Health Infectious Disease Conference

In recent weeks, the Illinois Department of Health hosted its first infectious disease conference. The keynote speaker was Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, who emphasized the importance of sharing accurate information about public health on social platforms. She highlighted the need for public health professionals to address misinformation, surveillance, and social listening in order to provide answers to the questions people may have.

During the conference, experts discussed various strategies for ensuring the dissemination of accurate information. One such strategy is working with trusted messengers such as pastors, education boards, and pediatricians to help them understand evolving data and communicate it effectively to their communities. Dr. Sameer Vohra of the Illinois Department of Public Health emphasized the importance of staying informed by consulting local experts, keeping up with vaccinations, and prioritizing wellness care.

Vohra underscored the significance of protecting one’s health in order to engage in activities that matter and safeguard the well-being of loved ones. By coming together to protect our health, we can enjoy valuable moments with family and friends.
