Abstract

The Vaccine Champions and Vaccine Communication (VCVC) program aims to increase the number of people getting the COVID-19 vaccine and to build confidence in vaccines by empowering healthcare providers, community, faith, and industry leaders to become vaccine “champions” within their communities, in three Western Pacific countries. Champions will run vaccine information sessions in the community, addressing concerns and misconceptions. This research will assess the impact of the VCVC program.
