Vax Up Podcast: Recent Episodes
Benedict Plumley
The Vax Up Podcast is an exciting new podcast series exploring the power of social media to strengthen vaccine confidence and shape health behaviors. This podcast is brought to you by the Alliance for Advancing Health Online, an initiative to advance public understanding of how social media and behavioral sciences can be leveraged to improve the health of communities around the world.
In each episode, we follow a different community outreach organization and see how it is getting the message out, interspersed with a panel discussion of experts, on what lessons can be shared with other implementers, policy makers and community members.
The Vax Up Podcast is produced by the Bay Area Global Health Alliance and Sabin Vaccine Institute with Ben Plumley, of A Shot in the Arm Podcast. Please visit www.vaxuppodcast.com for information.
In this episode, we look at projects funded in the first round of grants from the Vaccine Confidence Fund, from indigenous communities in Guatemala and Canada, to girls and young women in India and sub Saharan Africa. Our panel also looks at other interesting approaches to ask the question just how digital media & social network platforms can help build trust in healthcare, particularly vaccines, in these “hardly reached” communities.

- Nadia Diamond-Smith, Assistant Professor, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco

In this episode, we head to Guatemala, where an innovative partnership between Wuqu’ Kawoq (the Maya Health Alliance), UCSF and Stanford University, are developing digital and social media messaging for indigenous rural communities in local Mayan languages. The project - funded by the Vaccine Confidence Fund, part of the Alliance for Advancing Health Online - provides some useful lessons learned for vaccine implementers looking to find ways of reaching marginalized communities with messaging that is appropriate to their needs - and that can be communicated in different local languages.

In this episode of the Vax Up Podcast, we head to India, a country that prides itself on access to vaccines, where a drop in families seeking routine vaccinations for children during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked a need for stronger messaging campaigns on routine childhood immunizations. We look at how Girl Effect, an international nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women and girls through media, answered that call to action with a first-of-its-kind campaign aimed at reaching an elusive target audience: young mothers living across India’s Hindi Belt.
