The Vanguard Vaccination Project
Safe, effective COVID-19 vaccines are available and increasingly accessible, but vaccine
hesitancy and resistance are profound barriers to achieving herd immunity. Without herd
immunity, we will face resurgences of the disease, causing social, educational, travel, workforce productivity, and economic disruptions. Leaders of companies and organizations across the country can play an important role in encouraging vaccinations within their organizations and communities. The Vanguard Network, in collaboration with Global Vaccination Advisors, will help by assembling and curating materials from top experts including ethicist Dr. Art Caplan, minority health champion Dr. Felix Nunez and anthropologist Dr. Heidi Larson.
