Laser Talk: Call your editor on Gavi
Hello! I’m calling to follow up on the vaccines editorial idea I sent to you on ______________.
Might you have two minutes to chat? [Why, yes I do!] As I mentioned in my email, the
U.S. has a chance to be part of vaccinating 300 more children over the next 5 years and,
consequently, keeping millions of children from dying needlessly. Have you given any more
thought to the idea of writing about Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance, or do you have any
questions about the materials I sent?
Possible Hooks:
•I have appreciated your continuing coverage of the Ebola outbreak, which is continuing
to concern the global health community, and I believe that discussion of common
communicable diseases we can prevent would be of relevant interest to readers . . .
•I have noticed that local pharmacies are ramping up promotion of fall vaccination
season, and so . . .
•The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge got a lot of air time this fall, and as people are still reflecting
on the amazing outpouring of support the challenge received, I thought it might be
relevant to talk about another chance that the U.S. has to save lives, this time through
vaccines we already have.
•In our state, our economy is helped immeasurably by Eli Lilly & Co. and Roche, both
leaders in the health and vaccination fields – so we understand the value of this
preventive measure . . .
•All parents and guardians want their children to have a healthy start in life, and so there’s
a natural understanding of the child vaccine issue between families here and families
abroad . . .
