Description
Vaccines have played a critical role in improving population health for generations, yet historical inequities, medical mistrust, and unequal access continue to shape how vaccines are experienced by many communities today, particularly vulnerable and historically underserved population. This session will explore the present, history, and future of vaccines in the US and how past public health practices influence present-day trust and decision-making. Centering family perspectives and community experience, the session will highlight how SC Families for Vaccines works alongside families and local partners to support vaccine confidence and access, especially among populations most impacted by health disparities.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Explain how the historical context of vaccines and public health systems shapes trust among vulnerable populations and informs equitable policy development.
  • Apply culturally responsive, trust-based practices that support vaccine confidence and access for families experiencing social, economic, or geographic barriers.
