Accessibility of Ontario pharmacies offering Covid-19 vaccination by rurality, community material deprivation, and ethnic concentration
During COVID-19 vaccine scarcity or abundance, deprived and ethnically concentrated urban areas had similar or higher access compared to less deprived areas. However, rural deprived areas experienced lower geographic accessibility. Access to pharmacies can be enhanced in rural deprived areas by incentivization and outreach. Further research examining whether this geographic accessibility variance influenced vaccine uptake and infection rates
Connect, collaborate and tailor
The CCT process to create COVID-19 vaccine communication materials led to evolving co-operation between groups who had not routinely worked together before; strong community engagement was a key driver of change. Ensuring a respectful environment for open dialogue and visibly using feedback to create information products provided a foundation for building relationships. Finally, our data indicate participants sought reinforcement of close coopera…
Community efforts to promote vaccine uptake in a rural setting
Vaccine hesitancy has been identified as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The causes of low vaccine uptake are many and vary at micro and macro levels. However, rural and remote coastal areas in the UK experience unique vaccine inequalities due to high levels of deprivation and their unique and complex access-related problems. This study aimed to explore community efforts to promote vaccine uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic and under…
Unintended consequences of communicating rapid Covid-19 vaccine policy changes– a qualitative study of health policy communication in Ontario, Canada
Vaccine policy changes that allow for prioritized access can have the unintended consequence of limiting communities' access to information that supports decision making. Rapidly evolving circumstances require a balance between adjusting policy and maintaining simple, consistent public health messages that can readily be translated into action. Information access is a factor in health inequality that needs addressing alongside access to vaccines
Role satisfaction among community volunteers working in mass Covid-19 vaccination clinics, Waterloo Region, Canada
For volunteers in crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteer role satisfaction depends on how their contributions are valued, the clarity of their role descriptions, volunteer-specific training, and the sentiments of volunteers and staff within the clinic context. Greater role satisfaction can help with retention as volunteers become more resilient and adaptable to the complex dynamic circumstances of a crisis response. Activities such as tr…
