Building COVID-19 vaccine confidence before, during and after pregnancy

CANVax is collaborating with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) to present a live webinar to inform health care providers on vaccine hesitancy and strategies to build vaccine confidence in people who are pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant.

A question and answer period will take place at the end of this 60 minute live and moderated webinar. The webinar will be recorded and available on the CANVax website following the event.

Learning Objectives for the live webinar:

1. Discuss the challenges to vaccine confidence for individuals and families who are pregnant, considering pregnancy or lactating

2. Identify strategies for building vaccine confidence among pregnant families, new parents, and those who intend to become pregnant

Prior to attending this webinar we recommend you view the 27 minute webcast COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy and lactation.
