Statement: Multisectoral actions to build trust at the local and community level to promote vaccine acceptance

On 12 September 2022, attendees of the 16th Vaccine Congress in Riva del Garda, Italy were invited to attend a roundtable session entitled multi-sectoral actions to build trust at the local and community level to promote vaccine acceptance to participate in a discussion aimed at defining strategies and recommendations to support efforts that build community vaccine confidence. Presenters from the Vaccine Confidence Project and the New York Vaccine Literacy Campaign shared research and data point on the current state of vaccine confidence worldwide as well as global examples of "success stories" to prompt discussion. The group's key recommendations include prioritizing multi-sectoral responses and trust-building through policy and legislation, engaging with trusted local stakeholders, improving convenience, combating misinformation and empowering healthcare professionals to improve vaccine confidence. This report summarizes the considerations, recommendations, and suggested strategies discussed during the session, as prepared by the presenters.
