Innovative educational materials delivered by community partners of academic medicine can encourage individuals who haven't yet, to get the shot.
An outreach group at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine is using art-based educational materials to encourage vaccination in economically and historically marginalized communities in Cincinnati as part of the AAMC's Building Trust and Confidence Through Partnerships grant program.
Another grant awardee, Meharry Medical College in Nashville, takes a different approach, producing a "choose-your-own-adventure" website to distribute health messaging to community members.
Both aim to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. Learn more.
