Health Equity Roadmap
Take a journey to understand health equity fundamentals and how to apply them to increase vaccine access, awareness, and confidence for diverse communities.
How Can My Organization Build Health Equity Capacity?
Over the next several months, the VRH will lead you on a health equity journey. The intention is to provide VRH resources grouped in a way that helps you implement health equity principles within your organization. We are providing a variety of resources – they may not all resonate with you, but hopefully you will find some that do. The journey will introduce health equity core concepts, provide guidance for implementing health equity into your work, share tools for tracking and sharing the outcomes of these efforts, and discuss ways to work with specific communities.
Here we lay a foundation by providing definitions and frameworks to round out one’s understanding of health equity. When reviewing these resources, consider how these concepts can be applied to a variety of health and health care topics, including increasing vaccine access, awareness, and confidence.
Generations of racism and maltreatment have resulted in some communities being less trustful of government initiatives, including vaccination. These resources present context that may result in someone being distrustful of vaccination.
