A first language paid peer-to-peer vaccine outreach, education and promotion program is needed for newcomers to ameliorate vaccine hesitancy among immigrants, refugees and other new Canadians. Without the cultural safety created by a deep understanding or respect for the cultural norms and practices of newcomer groups, trust between healthcare professionals and newcomer groups cannot be created. Engendering trust, confidence and acceptance requires innovative approaches. During this webinar, presenters will discuss: · Needs and barriers of newcomers regarding vaccine hesitancy · Experiences of Arabic, Spanish, Mandarin & French International Educational Health Professional’s (IEHPs) as they take on the role of vaccine ambassadors · Best Practice Guidelines & Recommendations · Survey results assessing confidence in knowledge, beliefs and attitudes, medical mistrust and future intention and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines · Community Outreach Efforts
