North Carolina's Awardee
Kristina Simeonsson, MD, MSPH
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Brody School of Medicine
East Carolina University
Greenville, NC
Each and every week, Dr. Kristina Simeonsson travels throughout rural and underserved areas near Greenville, North Carolina, to offer pediatric services to children of all ages. In particular, she’s on the lookout to ensure that all clients are immunized appropriately according to their age.
Dr. Simeonsson also works to promote immunization among health care professionals, presenting at conferences, grand rounds, and association meetings. Some of her most popular presentations include Pertussis in Infants, Pandemic Influenza Planning, Influenza Update, the Risky Business of Vaccine Refusals, and Communicating with Parents about Vaccines. Additionally, Dr. Simeonsson shares her immunization knowledge with students at East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine, where she is an assistant professor of pediatrics. In this role, she not only educates future physicians, she also helps to shape the next generation of immunization champions.
Dr. Simeonsson has a particular passion for influenza vaccination, using innovative techniques to get people vaccinated. For example, during the 2011–2012 flu season, she launched a contest to get people vaccinated, even late into the season. She is also involved in helping prepare and plan for pandemic influenza events and presentations.
For her multipronged efforts to improve immunization throughout North Carolina, Dr. Simeonsson is an ideal CDC Childhood Immunization Champion.
