Vaccination Strategy
This research area will focus on informing an optimal COVID-19 vaccination strategy, including determining factors critical to vaccine targeting, messaging, access, roll-out across the population to ensure efficient use of vaccine doses and minimized wastage.
Key Challenge Questions:
- What are the key factors influencing vaccine uptake and coverage across the population?
- What are the drivers of vaccine hesitancy?
- How can we improve vaccine coverage?
- What are the drivers of vaccine hesitancy?
- What are the factors influencing access to COVID-19 and influenza vaccination? Analysis should consider changes in how people access their primary care practitioner. How can we improve access to both COVID-19 and influenza vaccination?
- What is the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination status and broader health outcomes including COVID-19?
- What is the relationship between COVID-19 and influenza vaccination status, and broader health outcomes including COVID-19 and influenza?
- What is the relationship between COVID-19 and influenza vaccination status, and broader health outcomes including COVID-19 and influenza?
- How effective is the COVID-19 vaccine and how long does the conferred immunity last at population level? Does COVID-19 vaccination improve the broader health impacts of COVID-19 at the population level? Analysis should consider the expected vaccine timing, type schedule, and supply.
- How does vaccination coverage, as well as the efficacy and safety profile of the vaccine, influence the need for ongoing surveillance testing?
Please consider: All analyses should include consideration of population sub-groups, for example: sex, gender, and sexual orientation; people with high risk clinical characteristics; people with physical and/or mental health disabilities; Indigenous peoples and communities; immigrants and refugees; ethno-racial communities; Francophone communities; linguistic communities; religious/faith communities; homeless people; people living on a low income; people receiving social assistance; people using drugs; and people living in rural/remote or inner urban areas.
