The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is partnering with entities at all levels to improve vaccine confidence and uptake among racial and ethnic groups that experience vaccine hesitancy and in doing so awarded Michigan State University funding to launch a national network of academic, philanthropic, public health, community-based organizations, and media partners to implement strategies to improve adult vaccine equity.
