COVID-19, Vaccine Access & Equity
Trust and trustworthiness are a significant part of achieving equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. Watch the recordings from this Dialogue4Health Web Forum series to explore issues related to building trust and trustworthiness between communities and those bringing vaccines.
In a previously recorded, live conversation, PHI CEO & President Dr. Mary Pittman and Pastor James D. Gailliard, a state representative in the North Carolina Assembly, reflect upon efforts to achieve equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and explore how faith-based organizations and state policy interventions work toward this goal in North Carolina.
In this web forum, speakers address:
- Issues related to building trust and trustworthiness between communities and those bringing vaccinations to the communities;
- Successful strategies for reaching vaccine-hesitant communities;
- How data can be used to ensure an equitable vaccine response;
- How vaccine distribution strategies have evolved as supply increases; and
