@UMICHTALKSVACCINES: An Instagram Account

We (group 3) curated an Instagram account to educate individuals on vaccines. Please take a moment to learn about what we researched and disseminated via this account...

• What are vaccines?

• Why do we get vaccines?

• Misconceptions about vaccines

• Vaccine hesitancy

• How to talk to people who are vaccine hesitant

• Vaccine disparities

Additionally, we brought fellow students and professors into the conversation about vaccines...

• We asked UM students why they are vaccinated and made this into a video

• We interviewed Dr. Abram Wagner, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, about vaccines and vaccine hesitancy

Throughout our posts, we emphasized how access to vaccines and knowledge about vaccines -- characteristics of social determinants of health -- can influence vaccine uptake and willingness to get vaccinated.

We really enjoyed creating this project and hope you enjoy our work!
