COVID-19 Peer Hub workshop with Lisa Menning (WHO): Exploring vaccine hesitancy and demand promotion in practice

PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR TRUSTED COLLEAGUES.

Join us for this workshop with Lisa Menning from the World Health Organization (WHO). Lisa is the Technical focal point responsible for the area of vaccination demand and behavioural sciences.

Since July 2020, more than 6,000 immunization professionals from 90 countries have joined the COVID-19 Peer Hub to maintain immunization services during the pandemic.

More than 500 Peer Hub participants are developing peer-reviewed case studies to document their experience in helping individuals and groups overcome their reluctance, hesitancy, or fear of vaccination.

In Friday's exceptional event, participants will present their case studies and receive feedback from Lisa Menning.

Health workers, especially those working alongside community members, remain the most trusted and influential advisers in immunization decisions.

We must support each other during the pandemic to continue to provide reliable and credible information about vaccines - and prepare for the day when there will be a safe and effective COVID vaccine.

Join us.
