🔬 New Research Alert: Development of a Culturally Competent Training Curriculum for Healthcare Professionals to Promote Vaccination and Tackle Vaccine Hesitancy

In our latest Delphi study, a team of experts from Cyprus, Greece, Spain, and Romania has worked together to design a culturally competent training curriculum aimed at addressing vaccine hesitancy. This project recognizes the importance of cultural factors in vaccination advocacy and equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to promote vaccination in diverse cultural contexts.
