New Resource – Communicating about Vaccine Risks

Communicating about vaccination related risks Octavia SilvaIn order to support countries with their vaccination-related risk communications and community engagement, PAHO has developed technical guidelines, “Communicating about Vaccination-Related Risks”.

This document includes practical recommendations and lessons learned on the processes and principles of risk communication and community engagement, messaging, risk perceptions, handling false information, collaborating with partners, and pharmacovigilance. The document also includes real-world examples to show how some of these principles have been applied in the Americas. The publication is available in all four languages of the Organization.
