Part 2
Wednesday, February 17, 2021 | 11:00 PT / 2:00 ET
Jurisdictions are struggling with who on the frontline should receive the initial doses of the vaccines. Without a consistent plan at the top levels of government, public agencies are left to work out the details. Which local government frontline workers (e.g., health care, public safety, etc.) should be first to receive the vaccine? What are some incentives being considered to encourage employees to be vaccinated? Can local governments require vaccinations?
Takeaways:
Community Engagement is Key to Successfully Vaccinate BIPOC* Populations
Emphasis on Relying on a Scientific Approach
Streamline Bureaucratic Processes to Improve Access to Vaccines
Data is an Important Feature of Communication
