When: May 25, 2022 9:00 AM-10:30 AM ET
Join us for the official launch of the Vaccine Economics Research for Sustainability and Equity (VERSE) Equity Toolkit, which compares the level of vaccine coverage against the level of equity and quantifies the influence of key sociodemographic factors to inequity. The toolkit uses novel methodologies to rank a country’s population by level of composite disadvantage which is composed of known factors that fairly and unfairly influence access to and uptake of vaccines. IVAC's health economist, Dr. Bryan Patenaude, and fellow economist, Dr. Elizabeth Ekirapa Kiracho, at Makerere University, Uganda will discuss the development, uses, and policy implications of the toolkit. Access the toolkit. Panelists:
- Dr. Bryan Patenaude, Principal Investigator on the Vaccine Economics Research for Sustainability and Equity (VERSE) project at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA
- Dr. Elizabeth Ekirapa Kiracho, Chair at Makerere University School of Public Health, Kampala, Uganda
