“THRIVE”: Tennessee Health Resources in Vaccine Education

THRIVE was started due to the fact that there has been an increase in the number of babies, teens and adults that are not getting vaccinated in the state of Tennessee therefore putting everyone at an increased risk for diseases especially those that are living with an underlying illness.
