How to Build More Equitable Vaccine Distribution Technology

The highly digital environment that is being used in order to register for vaccines presents a significant barrier to those who don't have access to high speed internet and electronic devices, as well as those who may not be as technologically literate. If your clinic is planning to use digital registration processes to book vaccine appointments, this article gives five tips to help cut down on the technology disparity. As the article states, the digital divide exacerbates health inequalities in disadvantaged communities so if this is the area you serve, please pay especially attention. Some of the included recommendations include having multi-lingual, offline registration options, make the process as simple as possible, and cut down on the amount of information that needs to be filled out in order to register (you can always collect that information in person once they're at your clinic!)
