💉 How can behaviorally informed messaging improve vaccine confidence and uptake?
This video highlights findings from the study, Behaviorally Informed Messages Increase COVID-19 Vaccination Intentions: Insights from a Global Meta-Analysis.
Conducted across 23 predominantly low- and middle-income countries with over 123,000 participants, this research explores how tailored communication strategies can effectively address vaccine hesitancy and improve public health outcomes.
📊 Key Findings:

✅ Tailored communication is essential for addressing vaccine hesitancy and managing future health crises.
🌍 Why It Matters:
Low vaccination rates during the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges for health systems and economic recovery worldwide.
This research demonstrates how behavioral science and rapid insights from social media can strengthen vaccine confidence, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
