Dialogues for the Vaccine Hesitant...
​...and Those Who Love Them 

Inspired by Boca del Lupo's Plays2Perform@Home project, Dialogues for the Vaccine Hesitant (and Those Who Love Them) is a series of free digital books and podcasts meant as practice dialogues for people who might find themselves in any number of difficult conversations, especially as folks gather for the holidays.

As part of the series, Mary-Colin Chisholm has written BUY WHY? which navigates the issues that parents and guardians are facing with children aged 5-11 when it comes to getting the vaccine. 

We are so pleased to have helped bring BUT WHY? to life as a podcast, featuring Dartmouth’s own James MacLean, the charming Tindra Johnson, and Mary-Colin herself as Sparkles the cat! Catch Mary-Colin chatting with Boca’s Sherry J Yoon and child psychologist Dr. Elizabeth McLaughlin following the podcast.
