"This is our moment of opportunity! But how?"

This is a short thread on how "trusted #messengers" & technology ("#vaxbots"; "vaccine bots"; AI) will (most certainly) be utilized to mitigate/overcome vaccine hesitancy.

Vaccine Confidence Project, Nov 9 2020

#COVID19

A "Pro-vaccinate #movement"

"The big search for new, trusted messengers to reach the hesitant audiences (Kim Kardashian or the #NHS?)"

"#Health Providers are confused". In truth, many health providers are not confused. Rather, they are increasingly concerned.

"Increasing Confidence in the Flu #Vaccine among African Americans and Implications for #COVID19 vaccines"

"Building #trust"

"We have built many relationships and a high degree of credibility which means we can engage other researchers with our community partners."

Before we continue, it is imperative to recall the text from the [Share] Verified (#UN, Purpose, etc.) #vaccine communication guide we recently explored:

"For #Black #Americans, for instance, #barbershops turn out to be a really good place to get health information..."

"So what we did last night was this. We had two #barbers, so down here, you see where I'm pointing, down here is Mike Brown. Mike Brown, a barber, in one of our hair #barbershops. Katrina, a stylist in one of our shops. They are long-term partners of the center."

"Mike #recorded some of his customers asking questions about the flu vaccine: would they take it, what their questions are, and about the #Covid #vaccine. We edited those. So we were able to bring voices of customers, in short video clips, to this panel."

"...we have a community of #activists here... & others that go back into #Black & #Latinx communities have more credible information to which to engage. They are #community #influencers. They are trusted. They are seeing & encounter populations that most of us don't encounter."

"Actively Listening to #Vaccine Sentiments Using #Chatbots"

#WHO

"#Chatbots are just beginning in clinical practice settings

The #COVID19 pandemic has been catalyzing their penetration"

"Chatbots [& AI] offers the potential to massively increase access to..."

what we fear, respond to, engage in, our reactions, perceptions, & behaviors, - that can then be influenced ("nudged") to align with, or succumb to, ruling class & corporate interests.

#vaccinehesitancy

"Real-time & high-resolution #surveillance of public concern"

"Dynamic & #targeted mitigation"

"Influencing the #vaccine fence-sitters"

"An Optimization platform for #framing vaccine messages"

"Subject: Are HPV #vaccines safe?"

"Vax bot: 'There are 3 HPV vaccines: Gardasil-9, #Gardasil and #Cervarix. All three are very safe among millions of people who have received them.'"

#AI #VaxBot

End.
