"The key to slowing the spread of COVID-19 is adherence to prevention behaviours and optimal uptake of vaccination. However, willingness to get vaccinated may undermined by perceived (and actual) costs, as well as perceptions of its importance for reducing virus transmission. The pandemic is now being driven primarily by the unvaccinated, many of whom are under the age of 12 – so there is an urgent need to optimize vaccination rates and address vaccine hesitancy in Canada and worldwide. 

By the end of this presentation, participants will: 

  1. Be able to distinguish between those who are vaccine hesitant vs ‘anti-vaxxers’; 
  2. Be able to recognize the main barriers and facilitators of vaccination; 
  3. Be able to identify effective (and counter-productive) approaches to addressing vaccine hesitancy in practice, and from a public health perspective." - Children's Healthcare Canada
