Increasing vaccine confidence through communication and community engagement

• Description:
  Now that we have safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in the United States and a vaccine supply that will continue to increase, we must ensure those vaccines are accessible to all communities, and that the people in these communities have high confidence in the vaccines being offered. Building vaccine confidence requires trust in three areas: (1) the vaccines themselves, (2) the healthcare personnel providing vaccines, and (3) the system approving, distributing, and monitoring vaccines.
  
  Trust cannot be built overnight. Building vaccine confidence in communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and other health inequities will require additional effort. Building vaccine confidence requires commitment and cooperation among CDC, health departments, other government agencies, elected officials, community leaders, and countless partners to engage communities. Trust is built when these groups engage communities, deliver on promises made, and speak to the values of the communities.
