Project Title: Addressing Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Ethnic Minorities and Migrant Groups
Brief Summary: The roll out of a COVID-19 vaccine that helps prevent severe infections has been hailed as a scientific success, but that success hinges on the population’s uptake of the vaccine. From previous research, we have seen that ethnic minorities and migrants have higher rates of vaccine hesitancy and lower rates of uptake. This is why this project will focus on improving an existing digital intervention to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among this population
