Mobile Health & Vaccine Equity Webinar

This webinar hosted by Mobile Health Map and the Mobile Healthcare Association includes an opening statement about vaccine equity by Mollie Williams Dr.PH, a call to advocacy by Alice Chen MD., and a panel featuring representatives from John Muir Health and Community Health Services of South Florida Inc. Williams talks about how we must address vaccine hesitancy under the umbrella of vaccine equity and enact a system change to address the concerns of those who distrust the heathcare industry. Chen tells the story of how she became involved in healthcare advocacy and tells the clinics that they figure out what change they want to see within the system and advocate/lobby for it. The panelists go into detail about how their respective clinics have been handling the COVID-19 vaccine distribution and what their normal intake and monitoring processes look like. They provide tips that include, but are not limited to, partnering with local officials to become part of the distribution infrastructure and scheduling the appointment for the second vaccine dose at the first appointment.
