Connecting “Hardly Reached” Communities Through Digital and Social Media
Episode 6
Thursday, 27 October, 2022

In this episode, we look at projects funded in the first round of grants from the Vaccine Confidence Fund, from indigenous communities in Guatemala and Canada, to girls and young women in India and sub Saharan Africa. Our panel also looks at other interesting approaches to ask the question just how digital media & social network platforms can help build trust in healthcare, particularly vaccines, in these “hardly reached” communities.
