Our new infographic is now available in 24 languages!

To encourage confidence within the community, an infographic with information on the COVID-19 vaccine was circulated and paired with a community engagement survey to receive feedback on whether it is an effective tool, how we can improve it to support decision-making on the vaccine, advice on cultural safety, and if the information is being presented accurately. Hundreds of responses helped us curate a decision aid appropriate for many Canadian communities in over 20 languages.

Welcome to the Confidence Project!

Supporting Canadians’ vaccine confidence and uptake, as well as addressing barriers to accessing vaccination, requires diverse strategies and targeted interventions. There is no “one size fits all” solution, and a multifaceted approach is crucial for reaching all Canadians, and particularly Canadians who historically have been underserved and whose health negatively impacted by a range of social determinants of health.

The COVID-19 vaccination campaign is the largest mass vaccination campaign ever undertaken. As such, it presents an opportunity to identify and address longstanding systemic barriers to vaccination – including acceptance and uptake of vaccines beyond those that prevent COVID-19. New and reimagined interventions are required to develop or expand tools, education, and supports for healthcare providers as well as strategies and resources to support community-driven solutions.

There is no “one size fits all” solution, and a multifaceted approach, grounded in Canada’s diversity, is crucial for reaching all Canadians.

Research

We propose disseminating a tool to support decision-making with regard to COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant and lactating Canadians, especially those belonging to Indigenous, racialized and marginalized groups, and study its impact on vaccine hesitancy.
