社区参与对于以人为本的发展至关重要,成功的疫苗接种计划。多样化的疫苗接种接受研究网络(VARN)社区汇集了来自整个免疫生态系统的跨学科专业人士,他们在疫苗接种接受中发挥着至关重要的作用。需求,和交付。在VARN2023会议的过程中,研究人员和从业人员都分享了想法和经验,重点是在社区和卫生系统之间建立信任以增加疫苗接种公平性的战略和方法。卫生专业人员和社区成员必须在设计和提供以社区为中心的免疫服务方面具有同等价值,虽然主要疫苗接种决策者也必须考虑社区经验,关注,以及方案设计和决策方面的专业知识。因此,社区参与和培养社区信任的策略对于任何免疫计划的成功至关重要。此外,卫生工作者需要额外的技能,支持,和资源来有效地传达有关免疫的复杂信息,包括打击错误信息的有效策略。本文总结了VARN2023会议上提供的三个技能建设会议,专注于以人为本的设计,动机性面试,并与记者接触以利用社区的声音。这些会议提供了实用的,可供从业者使用的跨地理和社会环境使用的基于证据的工具,研究人员,和其他利益相关者,以增加其社区的疫苗接种需求和吸收。
Community engagement is vital to the development of people-centered, successful vaccination programs. The diverse Vaccination Acceptance Research Network (VARN) community brings together interdisciplinary professionals from across the immunization ecosystem who play a crucial role in vaccination acceptance, demand, and delivery. Over the course of the VARN2023 conference, researchers and practitioners alike shared ideas and experiences focused on strategies and approaches to building trust between communities and health systems to increase equity in vaccination. Health professionals and community members must have equal value in the design and delivery of community-centered immunization services, while key vaccination decision-makers must also consider community experiences, concerns, and expertise in program design and policymaking. Therefore, strategies for community engagement and cultivating trust with communities are crucial for the success of any immunization program. Furthermore, health workers need additional skills, support, and resources to effectively communicate complex information about immunization, including effective strategies for countering misinformation. This article summarizes three skills-building sessions offered at the VARN2023 conference, focused on human-centered design, motivational interviewing, and engaging with journalists to leverage the voices of communities. These sessions offered practical, evidence-based tools for use across geographic and social settings that can be used by practitioners, researchers, and other stakeholders to increase vaccination demand and uptake in their communities.
