Mérieux Foundation event
Global challenges in vaccine acceptance science and programs
September 24-26, 2018 - Les Pensieres Center for Global Health, Veyrier du Lac (France)
Summary
Researchers and practitioners working on improving vaccine acceptance and uptake gathered for the sixth annual meeting on vaccine acceptance, organized by the Mérieux Foundation at Les Pensières Center for Global Health in Veyrier-du-Lac, France from 24-26 September 2018.
Members from academia, government, for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and companies, media, and the public came together for three days to foster a better understanding about effective communication, the design and evaluation of interventions, the translation of evidence into practice and policy, and in the surveillance of vaccine acceptance and uptake.
This year’s meeting brought people from all across the globe and from many sectors together to discuss challenges and ways to address them with following sessions:
- Assessing and measuring vaccine confidence: Interventions and approaches
- Vaccine hesitancy among healthcare professionals
- Social Media & Big Data analytics
- How to implement evidence-based data into public health practice
- Updates on interventions to counter vaccine hesitancy
After 5 successful and informative years, an informal community of practice has been developed by participants that facilitates cross-pollination between the various disciplines and different settings. This community and the benefits of the meeting is described in a video created during the 2017 meeting.
