Abstract

COVID-19 has put vaccination in the spotlight like never before. It is more important than ever to understand why some people don't vaccinate and what to do about it. This research will: 1) Use surveys to understand access and acceptance barriers to vaccination, and 2) Provide tools and training for community leaders to use to advocate for vaccination. The outcome will be to help more people feel comfortable about getting routine and COVID-19 vaccines in Australia and the Western Pacific Region.
