In a meeting with national leaders yesterday, I learned that the pandemic has caused the US to administer 2.3 million fewer doses of HPV vaccinations. And the gap is worsening by the day. This is an urgent. We can't abandon a generation of young people to HPV cancers.

Allowing adolescents to consent may help improve HPV vaccination rates. Should we take a closer look at how we engage teens in basic preventive health decisions? @CR_OliveiraJr @YaleSPH @YaleYcis @HPVRoundtable jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Our paper “Communicating With Vaccine-Hesitant Parents: A Narrative Review” is out! It focuses on key communication approaches to reduce hesitancy in the patient/provider interaction - all are applicable to the adult context. @Muhellingson @SaadOmer3 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

There is so much misinformation and fear-mongering around #COVID19 vaccines for pregnant and nursing women. A brilliant @YaleMSTP student @Aliceluculligan and I wrote this OpEd to dispel these myths, and provide relevant facts. Please share widely. nytimes.com/2021/01/26/opini…

Biden is vaccinated. He’s at a distance, while working with a staff that should also have been vaccinated, in a space that should be very well ventilated. He shouldn’t need a mask. It’s a symbol of solidarity to wear one. It’s good.

Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based communication style that is used to help people make behavior changes. It can also be a powerful tool to help address vaccine hesitancy. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

It's worth paying close attention to vaccine acceptance in healthcare workers, as we're likely to face similar challenges in the general population. Great insights from @abuttenheim, @WhitneyEpi, and @SaadOmer3 in @voxdotcom. vox.com/22214210/covid-vacci…

"It’s going to get better and better gradually. It’s not going to be horrible until the end of 2021… people are going to start to see the sun coming up," added Dr. Fauci. #FauciAtYale
"To say once you get a vaccine, you're going to be free to do whatever you want, that’s not going to happen, at least through 2021," explains Dr. Anthony Fauci #FauciAtYale @YaleGH

"Things that were relatively low risk last month might not be next month. It’s important that we stay vigilant, even if it feels safe here and now," says @YaleSPH's @mh_chitwood, who helped develop a new statistical model to track the spread of COVID-19. yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/…

Public health research is more relevant now than ever. As part of our COVID Conversations series, YJBM host @Muhellingson and Erica Zeno, a 2nd year at UNC Chapel Hill, discuss the emotions that come with getting a PhD in epidemiology amidst this pandemic. soundcloud.com/yaleuniversit…

"No matter how effective the coronavirus vaccines prove to be, their overall impact will ultimately depend on how many people take them," writes @jameshamblin, noting a new poll shows 21% of Americans would “definitely” take a vaccine if available now. theatlantic.com/health/archi…

Bringing COVID19 under control is a behavioural challenge that will require every program (testing, track & trace, vaccination) to be infused with robust behavioural & social insights.
There are 360K people in Iceland. 2 French tourists arrived, tested positive, asked to isolate, they decided isolation was not for them. 100 cases in the last few days can be traced to their trip in August. icelandreview.com/society/co… visir.is/g/20202014981d/brut…
