London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

The Vaccine Confidence Project (VCP) is a program at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine that engages in research and analysis of vaccine hesitancy globally and provides guidance for response and engagement with the public to build and sustain confidence in vaccines and immunizations. The funded project documents experiences and emotions around COVID-19 vaccination and the COVID-19 response in Delhi, India and Abuja, Nigeria with particular emphasis on the periphery of these cities. The VCP works with its partners to design trust-building efforts to motivate vaccination by situating vaccination in the context of other community-defined needs towards post-COVID-19 recovery.

Established in 1899 in London, UK, the mission of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is to achieve excellence in public and global health research, education, and translation of knowledge into policy and practice in the UK and worldwide. LSHTM previously received an award to develop and publish a Lancet Maternal Health Series in 2016 with the objective of presenting new scientific evidence on maternal health. This project supports the LSHTM to disseminate key messages from the Maternal Health Series using multiple approaches to inform global and national priorities to improve maternal health.

The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) will lead the development of an updated maternal health series to be published in the Lancet, one of the premier global health journals. Teams of Global North and South authors will produce a six-paper edition that will be accompanied by commentaries from key constituencies. The publication will be launched at a global event that will coincide with the 2015 UN General Assembly as well as at two regional events.
