Team/consortium |

Overarching aim | We aim to better understand how policy changes and mis/disinformation are experienced in communities with low vaccine confidence, and to co-develop products which will be used to build trust in vaccines in target communities. In both Canada and the UK, communities and knowledge users (public health experts, health care providers, decision makers, public contributors) will be engaged in a collaborative programme to design and implement these products. |
Objectives | Our research objectives are:
|
Methods | Multiple methods and will be informed by the theory of diffusion of innovations. |
Outcomes | In both Canada and the UK, communities and knowledge users (public health experts, health care providers, decision makers, public contributors) will be engaged in a collaborative programme to co-develop, design and implement products which will be used to build trust in vaccines in target communities. |
Outputs | Peer reviewed publications.
Conference presentations. |
Impact | The study will report on approaches to building vaccine confidence in communities by engaging diverse stakeholders, informative posters, blogs and infographics on building vaccine confidence, policy briefs and academic working papers on the diffusion of COVID-19 vaccine policies and the societal response to building vaccine confidence. |
