Vaccine confidence is critical to maintaining vaccination coverage rates and protecting the health of individuals and communities. As COVID-19 vaccines are developed and distributed, addressing vaccine confidence will be a significant factor in ensuring optimal COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Community engagement is a critical component to improving confidence in vaccines and will require the involvement and cooperation of partners and stakeholders at all levels to engage diverse audiences and implement effective approaches.
