The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to the forefront the issue of vaccine hesitancy. While it is an often used term, vaccine hesitancy is a complex and context-specific issue that requires a targeted understanding. In this recorded webinar, we will spend time defining what vaccine hesitancy is, how it is connected to vaccine misinformation, explore vaccine hesitancy in different vaccine-preventable disease contexts (e.g., COVID-19 vs. HPV), and discuss appropriate and evidence-based strategies for addressing vaccine hesitancy in our communities.
This training was originally held on March 14, 2022.
