The Imperative to Vaccinate Adolescents and Young Adults Now Webinar
2021-05-06 11:00 - 12:30 | Webinar/Web Conference
About This Webinar

Dialing up the urgency to catch up on recommended adolescent vaccines, and embracing vaccines to protect against COVID-19.
Unity Consortium is hosting a thought-leader discussion, moderated by Dr. Chelsea Clinton, to share the urgency of getting vaccinated now, before summer when most adolescents and young adults (AYAs) may be broadly eligible for COVID-19 vaccines.
Throughout the pandemic, AYA well visit and vaccination rates dropped dramatically. Concerns about spreading COVID-19, schools going virtual, and the reduced need for sports physicals paused routine in-person health care visits. Rates began to rebound lately; however, a significant gap remains especially for adolescents.
Some parents remain hesitant to visit healthcare providers for well visits and vaccinations due to safety concerns, according to a Unity survey and Unity’s mom advisory council. Many lower-income families face additional challenges related to taking public transportation to visit healthcare providers and childcare needs. People are confused by disinformation regarding safety of well visits and vaccinations; seeds of doubt on vaccines are often sowed and inflamed on social media.
Plummeting immunization rates result in increasing susceptibility to vaccine-preventable illness. This gap is even more pronounced for vulnerable populations including minority and lower-income families.

Agenda

Increase confidence among AYAs and their parents in getting vaccinated
Impress upon AYAs and their parents the importance of getting vaccinated now
Encourage AYAs, parents and their stakeholder communities to act together to get AYAs vaccinated

When: Thursday, May 6, 2021 · 11:00:00 AM · Central Time (US & Canada)
Duration: 1 hour
Language: English
Who can attend? Anyone with the event link can attend
Dial-in available? (listen only): No
