COVID-19 Vaccine Information

School of Pharmacy

Storrs

Health

This program created several YouTube videos in 5 languages produced by the students. Then, we verified by one of three faculty members (Jennifer Girotto, Diana Sobieraj, and C. Michael White) commonly asked questions regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. This was a significant effort to combat COVID misinformation and to protect the community by enhancing vaccination receptiveness. This program was selected for the Provosts Award for Public Engagement 2022 for this project in the Student-Faculty Team category. They've had over 57,000 views to date.
