@uabuip students hosted another event at #VHLP on 3/22/2024. The fifth graders learned how vaccines work and got to play as the immune system before and after a vaccine. @UABImmunology hopes to continue the partnership and expands its community outreach program in 2024.

[UAB Immunology Institute @UABImmunology]

2/2 @vhcschools students learned how antibodies work and made their own antibodies by using the crafts of playdough, straws, paper clips and pipe cleaners. The second event was held on March 22. #Immunologyeducation @uabmedicine @UABImmunology @uabuip
