Building COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence: Compiling Evidence and Supporting Communities in Vaccine Acceptance and Distribution

The president’s National Strategy goal to vaccinate the U.S. population quickly, effectively, and equitably requires wide-scale, unbiased distribution and access, and public confidence in the safety of the vaccine and the vaccination effort. Efforts to get shots into arms must carefully and authentically engage communities to increase acceptance and confidence. Building trust and trustworthiness through transparent communication and mobilized communities lays a foundation for achieving these objectives.
