Vaccine Safety Edit-a-thon

Theme:

Global & Local, Other

Type of session:

Workshop

Abstract:

During WikiConference North America, KNoW Science and Wikimedia DC would like to build on momentum from previous events to facilitate a Spanish and English Vaccine Safety Edit-a-thon. We hope to update our submission with support from Wikimedia Mexico as well.

This edit-a-thon will be the culmination of an event series which is aimed at improving vaccine safety information on different language Wikipedias. Our multilingual events have brought together Wikipedians and health/science subject matter experts who are interested in creating, editing and improving citations for vaccine-related task lists being compiled through the Vaccine Safety Project created by Netha Hussain.

Our kick-off event in August 2020 was organized with support from the World Health Organization’s Vaccine Safety Net (VSN), the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) and Wikimedia DC. Subsequent events were organized with Wikimedia Mexico and Malayalam Wikipedia in English, Spanish and Malayalam.
