    Vaccine Hesitancy - The Repeating Cycle?: Talk Public Health | Season: 2021 (Episode 3.5)

    Vaccine Hesitancy - The Repeating Cycle?: Talk Public Health | Season: 2021 (Episode 3.5)

    Happy April! I hope you are excited as we are because a new month = a new #TalkPublicHealth episode!

    For this episode, our team felt an eerie sense of “de ja vu” as we observe the global health response to COVID-19.

    Moreover, it felt eerie because…we saw a lot of this coming from early 2019 [P.S. which is when we recorded this episode’s audio].

    So while listening to this conversation, please take these important contexts into account:

    1. Our conversation occurred in the context of the year 2019;

    2. We didn’t have the "magnificent" audio equipment & resources like what we have today; AND

    3. We were still public health students - trying to figure out how could put our studies into practice.That being said, we believe our conversation still holds true (otherwise we wouldn’t be sharing it with you!)

    This episode is for you if you want to: 1) learn more about vaccine hesitancy; 2) recognize why the term anti-vax is an issue; 3) learn more about why we need to close the gap between vaccine-hesitant populations AND; 4) build better trust & care in marginalized and other vulnerable communities.

    --------

    We also want to share sources of data for this episode especially as we approach World Immunization Week.

    Viral (Off)load - Tales from the COVID-19 Frontlines: Talk Public Health | Season: 2021 (Episode 2)

    Happy February, and Happy Valentine's Day to our Talk Public Health followers! We are pleased to share with you - a very special gift - the 2nd episode of Talk Public Health - Season 2021 3 

    We did promise in our first episode that we had some fresh ideas, and some unfinished business from last year, to which we’re adding a bit of a pandemic twist!

    This episode is one of those twists.

    Naomi, Charles, and Anny recorded this episode in early March 2020, as the entire world was beginning to grapple with the rapidly evolving COVID-19 epidemic (soon to be a pandemic) - with the hope of releasing it as a two-part episode, however, fate had other plans for our team. 

    Contexts have changed, but some things - for the better or worse have not.

    Therefore, we are releasing this episode - its entirety, as a sort of throwback to that time. Were we right, were we wrong? What would we have said or done differently with the knowledge we have now? Well, we invite you to listen to our discussions, take some notes, and join us (in about 2 weeks from now), when we plan to delve into those issues during our next live recording - which will drop on our various podcast and social media channels near the end of February/beginning of March.

    In the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy Talk Public Health - Season 2021 - Episode 2, as we discuss - "Tales from the COVID-19 Frontline"
