Social Sciences Partners (WP5) Meets in Colombia: Dr. Christopher Pell (AIGHD) Visits CIDEIM

In late January, Dr. Christopher Pell from the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) visited the Yellow4FLAVI team at the Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Médicas (CIDEIM) in Cali, Colombia. The visit aimed to strengthen collaboration and gain insights into the local vaccination context.

During his visit, Dr. Pell discussed preliminary findings from focus groups conducted by the CIDEIM team. These discussions provided valuable perspectives on community attitudes towards vaccination and helped plan future focus groups in other regions.

The meeting was highly productive, emphasizing the importance of understanding the local context for tailoring research and interventions effectively. The team also outlined plans for the next phase of the project: a questionnaire-based survey to assess attitudes towards novel vaccine technologies among a larger population.

The collaboration with CIDEIM is crucial for the project's success, highlighting the importance of strong partnerships in global health research. Both teams are committed to improving vaccination uptake and acceptance.

Stay tuned for more updates on the project and our ongoing efforts to enhance public health outcomes.
