Understanding Yukoners'
Attitudes Towards Vaccines (ATV)
Community led, decolonizing research about how Yukoners make decisions about COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
The Yukoners’ Attitudes Towards Vaccines (ATV) Project is a collaborative project between the Council of Yukon First Nations, One Yukon Coalition, and Yukon University, in partnership with Champagne & Aishihik First Nations and Selkirk First Nation.
The project aims to better understand how people make decisions about vaccines: Who Yukoners trust; Where they get their information; Why they choose to get vaccinated or not.
The project will delve into issues of communication, trust, history, and other factors that may influence the decisions people about COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
