About Charlotte A. Moser, MS
Ms. Moser has extensively published in scientific journals on the topics of immunology and virology. Through her research, Ms. Moser has contributed to our understanding of how vaccines prevent infections of the intestinal tract. She has also developed a novel method to enhance immune responses to vaccines.
As co-director of the Vaccine Education Center, Ms. Moser has developed a variety of educational materials about vaccines, created the Parents PACK program for parents, and co-created the Vaccine Update and Vax Pack Hero programs. Ms. Moser is the co-author of Vaccines and Your Family: Separating Fact from Fiction (Columbia University Press, 2024).
