Trust matters but we also need these 3 things to boost vaccine coverage

<https://theconversation.com/trust-matters-but-we-also-need-these-3-things-to-boost-vaccine-coverage-242487>

"Australia’s COVID vaccine roll-out started slowly, with supply shortages and
logistical shortcomings. Once it got going, we immunised more than 95% of the
population.

This week’s COVID inquiry report contains a number of recommendations to
improve Australia’s vaccine preparedness the next time we face a pandemic or
health emergency.

While the inquiry gets most things right, as vaccine experts, we argue the
government response should be broadened in three areas:

* expanding compensation programs for people who suffer any type of vaccine
injury

* better understanding why people aren’t up-to-date with their vaccinations

* equipping community helpers in marginalised communities to deliver
information about vaccines and combat misinformation."
