The AAMC launched VaccineVoices in 2021 to provide our member institutions with practical tools and guidance as we all worked to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines in communities and among health care personnel. 

As the COVID pandemic evolves, the AAMC continues to focus efforts on building trust and promoting confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and routine pediatric immunizations. 

The AAMC understands that this work is a collaborative effort. The Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee (‘Contributors’) is a diverse committee with broad representation from member academic medical centers, medical schools, and community members to advise and inform the project. The role of the advisory committee includes, but is not limited to, providing expertise and input as the AAMC identifies best practices and implements strategies, reviewing information and resources to provide unique and critical insights, and participating in informational and educational webinars with populations of focus.
