Vaccine Communication in an Age of Polarization

Vaccine hesitancy remains a significant barrier to public health, shaped by both inaccurate information and communication challenges. This webinar explores how false information and messaging missteps—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic—have contributed to hesitancy and distrust. Participants will examine responses to vaccine hesitant individuals, learning which approaches foster productive dialogue and which may inadvertently reinforce skepticism. This session provides a deeper understanding of the factors driving vaccine hesitancy and the role of communication in public health.
