Vaccine Equity Cooperative Fireside Chat: The Road Ahead

Over the past two years, the Vaccine Equity Cooperative community gathered thousands of resources, shared best practices, and worked together to protect lives through expanded vaccine access, policy and community-level funding. We’ve made great strides in addressing the dire and urgent health inequities that were exacerbated by COVID-19 – and we have a tremendous opportunity to keep up the momentum. Thanks to your work, feedback, encouragement, and partnership, we remain committed to driving a health equity movement where there is room for everyone to work together on the most pressing health equity challenges of our time.

During this interactive conversation, attendees:

• Reviewed the progress to date and preview the next phase of this work;
• Shared their communities current issues and most pressing concerns;
• Reflected on the opportunities, needs, and challenges that still compel us to work together; and
• Developed a shared vision about the next chapter in our story of collective action.
