Presenting at CAB 2025:
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities, who also faced vaccine hesitancy and mistrust. An interprofessional team created the Equivax model to addresses these issues and equitably distribute COVID-19 vaccines to a large number of community members, including those living with the greatest health disparities.
