“Results of vaccine acceptance surveys provide insights into the reasons for accepting or delaying/refusing an invitation to vaccinate, including trust in authorities, media influence and readily accessible credible information. These insights are a critical complement to analysis of coverage data and can inform the design of vaccination programmes as well as communication activities”, says Sarah Earnshaw Blomquist from Folkhälsomyndighet (Public Health Agency of Sweden). Join Sarah November 16th 12:00 for the opening session of ATMP Sweden 2021 online.
