It’s day 2 of the #VARN2023 Conference organised by
Sabin Vaccine Institute. We are still in the beautiful city of Bangkok, Thailand, joining global health experts in exploring strategies for driving action across the vaccination acceptance, demand & delivery ecosystem.

Today's session begins with a fireside chat about yesterday's plenary sessions.

It also focuses on #VaccineEquity , especially around the HPV vaccine, gender inequity for health workers & how to scale up demand generation on both the supply & demand sides to meet the big catch-up

The engaging fireside chat also discussed the importance of developing active listening strategies to foster community engagement & buy-in. The critical issue of vaccine consent was also discussed. The session concluded with Q&A, wrapping up an enriching discussion.

Join us as we delve deeper into this pressing topic.
