Vaccine Hesitancy and Misinformation: Sources and Solutions

Dickey Center 40th Anniversary Event!

Vaccines are rightly heralded as a leading public health achievement; but their potential is currently under threat. Fear, misinformation, and political polarization are stoking vaccine hesitancy and eroding vaccination rates, with grave consequences. Polio has been detected in the U.S. for the first time in a decade; unvaccinated individuals continue to die of COVID-19 at high rates; and measles outbreaks are now common recurrences in high-income countries due to pockets of vaccine resistance. How can society stem the tide and shore up vaccine confidence?

Join our panel of experts as they dissect the susceptibility to vaccine-related misinformation in the US and beyond and explore evidence-based approaches to fighting back.
