DataKind
Speaker: Phil Azar
Summary from DataKind:
With the large-scale distribution of COVID-19 vaccines underway, strategies are needed to ensure trust & acceptance for the vaccines & those who deliver them. While social media platforms are known to house much of the conversation around COVID-19 & vaccines, Community partners may not have the available data science & analytics capabilities to make sense of all the available data related to COVID-19 vaccine distribution, trust, & usage, & use this knowledge to inform outreach & education efforts in their communities. Using multiple open data platforms, volunteers will analyze trends in public sentiment regarding COVID-19 & the COVID-19 vaccine in relation to information on government distribution plans, & local uptake & perceptions about & previous experiences receiving government support or accessing healthcare services. This exploration will allow for the assessment of open data for real-time monitoring of vaccine trust & provide another resource for policymakers & implementers looking to increase vaccine literacy & acceptance in their communities.
