Vaccine Hesitancy: Past, Present, and Future

This discussion explored vaccine hesitancy in the United States amidst the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases. How can those in public health better communicate with populations about the effectiveness of vaccines, combat misinformation and disinformation about vaccines, and better understand communities that may be hesitant to receive vaccines? This event was cohosted with BU Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases (CEID) and BUSPH Politics & Health Lab.
