    Various frameworks have been proposed for carrying out community engagement (CE) in the context of infectious disease response, but few have done so through a lens of vulnerability and even fewer, if any, have compared cases across countries. This paper reflects on the implementation of a project based on social science research and CE to capture and mitigate vulnerability mechanisms, which was carried out in France, Germany, Italy, Malta, and Sl…
