Chapter 2: Managing Vaccine Hesitancy During an Outbreak - a Focus on Cultural Competence
In chapter 2 of Lessons from the Field: Promoting Vaccine Confidence we describe important steps for identifying and engaging with communities at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases in culturally competent ways to manage vaccine hesitancy, particularly in outbreak situations. Highlighted within each step are key considerations, experiences from the field, immunization program and stakeholder insight, lessons learned, and resources to support programs’ efforts to engage communities.
