The country fell short of President Biden’s goal to vaccinate 70 percent of Americans by July 4th and with the Delta Variant on the rise, we know the unvaccinated face greater risks. Public Health and Hospital leaders must come together to help unvaccinated overcome barriers including geographic distance, access, and hesitancy. In this session, Dr. John Brownstein will discuss: 

• The power of data to deliver a strategy for living and working with COVID
• Tools to address vaccine equity and improve vaccine confidence
• Identify where is access to the vaccine limited and how to improve access for vulnerable communities
• Advance vaccine equity to limit viral transmission and mitigate the consequences
• How to improve confidence in the vaccine and protect us all from the variants and circulation
