arts to build vaccine confidence

The Award Winning Out of Hand Theater, in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health and Performance Hypothesis, is striving to boost confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine through their program, Equitable Vaccines. Equitable Vaccines is an innovative vaccine confidence program that seeks to address vaccine deliberation among community members by intersecting art, information, and meaningful conversation. To achieve this goal, the program has partnered with CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) to offer vaccine events across rural Georgia. During events, an artistic asset is featured, participants engage in an open, safe, and respectful conversation surrounding the artistic asset and reasons for vaccine deliberation.
