hand holding medical iconCOVID-19 Vaccines: Strategy to Reinforce ConfidenceThe Vaccinate with Confidence strategy to reinforce confidence in COVID-19 vaccines includes building trust, empowering healthcare personnel, and engaging communities and individuals.
COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence Strategy
Child vaccination coverage remains high nationally, and most parents are confident in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. However, the spread of myths and misinformation has put some communities at risk.
When misleading information circulates, vaccination coverage can fall and increase the risk for outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.A New Approach
*Vaccinate with Confidence* is CDC’s strategic framework to strengthen vaccine confidence and prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States.
*Vaccinate with Confidence* will strengthen public trust in vaccines by advancing three key priorities:
Protect Communities
Vaccination rates remain strong nationally, but pockets of under-vaccination persist in some locations, putting communities at risk for outbreaks. CDC will support states, cities, and counties to find these communities and take steps to protect them.
Empower Families
Trust in vaccines is not built through a top-down approach, but through millions of conversations between parents, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and community members. CDC will expand resources for health care professionals to support effective vaccine conversations.
Stop Myths
To stop misinformation from eroding public trust in vaccines, CDC will work with local partners and trusted messengers to improve confidence in vaccines among at-risk groups; establish partnerships to contain the spread of misinformation; and reach critical stakeholders to provide clear information about vaccination and the critical role it plays in protecting the public.Girl holding a stuffed animalImage courtesy of the American Academy of Pediatrics and SELF Magazine.*Vaccinate with Confidence* combines CDC’s existing work with new investments, partnerships, and activities to protect communities at risk and strengthen public trust in the life-saving protection of vaccines.How We Get There
