Addressing Vaccine Equity: Pediatric and Adult Vaccines

Vaccine equity acknowledges that no nation, state, or individual’s life is more important or more deserving than another’s. All people deserve the opportunity to receive a vaccine. (Save the Children, https://www.savethechildren.org/us/charity-stories/what-is-vaccine-equity). During this session, we will look at the system level, provider level, and individual (patient) level factors to address vaccine equity and provide some practical tools that public health providers and clinicians can institute to improve vaccine equity amongst all populations, particularly older adults, people living with disabilities and members of racial and ethnic minority communities.
