Webinar: Understanding—And Improving—COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake

Join the COVID Advocates Advisory Board (CAAB) on January 10th, 10:00-11:30am ET, for Understanding—And Improving—COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake, a webinar looking closely at how global health leaders are tackling public resistance to COVID-19 vaccines, and the essential lessons to learn for the field at large.

The causes of vaccine hesitancy are complex and multivariate – its impact on prolonging the pandemic is clear. Low uptake, particularly in countries with widespread access to COVID-19 vaccines, is hobbling the global response to the pandemic. Learning from efforts to build confidence in vaccines, and the systems that develop, manufacture, approve and distribute them, is essential. These lessons are integral to ending this epidemic and preparing the field for future vaccines to address HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and the next pandemic.

This webinar is part of a series hosted by the CAAB exploring key topics in the pandemic response. The series is focused on capturing insights from the response to COVID-19 that will inform public health policy and practice moving forward.
