Welcome!

Welcome to the homepage of our vaccine hesitancy research group, started by Purnima Madhivanan in collaboration with the Pima County Health Department in late 2019 at the University of Arizona’s Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. The Alliance for Vaccine Literacy is a team of students, staff and students from the University of Arizona, and community members who are invested in exploring reasons why people choose to vaccinate or not.  Our research has focused on Pima County adults' reasons to vaccinate against COVID-19 and seasonal influenza, reasons why healthcare workers and their clients choose to vaccinate against COVID-19 in Pima County, and more. Please take a look around our study’s website and get in touch with us directly if you have any questions at covidvac@arizona.edu.
