In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information. They decide whether each piece of information makes them more or less confident that the COVID-19 vaccine will help, or whether it raises more questions. Learners can empathize with different fictional characters and decide how those characters might feel. The materials include supports to help educators productively engage learners with a wide range of perspectives on vaccination. These materials were adapted from the National Informal STEM Education Network
