Climate & Inclusion Resources (Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Focus)

Our School’s weekly email update for faculty and staff includes a section from the Climate and Inclusion Committee, where suggested tools are shared to help our community with understanding the impact of inequality. Each month, the resources focus on a different topic. For October 2021, the topic was Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Below is a complete list of the resources shared with the faculty and staff at our School of Public Health during the month of October 2021. We encourage faculty and staff to review these resources for a second time - and invite our current and prospective students to view them, as well.
