DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar to mark World Immunization Week! \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of vaccines as one of the great scientific innovations of our time. To end the pandemic\, the majority of the world needs to be immune to COVID-19 and the safest way to achieve this is with a vaccine. \nWith all eyes on vaccines\, World Immunization Week 2021 offers an opportunity to build support for immunizations and to learn more about what it will take to vaccinate the world. Vaccines can bring us closer to ending the pandemic\, and will allow us to be physically closer again to one another. \nFeatured speakers: \n\nMark Brender\, National Director of Partners In Health (PIH) Canada\nDr Rosamund Lewis\, Head\, WHO Smallpox Secretariat\, WHO Emergencies Programme. Infodemic Management\, COVID-19 global response team.\nRowena Pinto\, Chief Program Officer\, UNICEF Canada\n\nHere is what you can expect to learn: \n\nWhy Canada must support the TRIPS intellectual property waiver tabled at the World Trade Organization\nWhat it will take for countries around the world to be ready to deliver mass COVID-19 immunization campaigns\nWhat is vaccine hesitancy\, why it’s cause for concern\, and what can be done to combat misinformation\nHow you can take meaningful action to support vaccine equity and uptake\n\nThere will be time to interact with other participants\, plus a question and answer period to wrap it all up. We hope you will leave feeling motivated to take action for vaccine equity. \n*Disclaimer: This 1 hour webinar is in English only. Recording will be available in English. \n———— \nThis webinar is part of Results Canada’s interactive series of webinars organized throughout the year that will equip you with the skills to be an active advocate for eradicating poverty worldwide.
