How do we make a COVID-19 vaccine accessible to all?

Upcoming Programs
Life Course Immunization (LCI) Course (Live Engagement): Boost is partnering with Bull City Learning to develop a course on life course immunization to introduce the topic to its members and guide them in developing their own LCI programs. This 7-part learning series, scheduled to launch in early September, will center around sharing best practices and using case-based learning – with each session focusing on a theme.
Responsive Feedback (Live Engagement): Boost, in collaboration with the the CURVE team, will test the CURVE process (convene stakeholders, uncover assumptions, reveal learning opportunities, seek evidence, and evolve) with a group of immunization professionals in an interactive training scheduled to launch in October. As this training approach is implemented, live feedback will be solicited as the trainees try out the tools and approaches in real time.
Storytelling for Change – Round 2 (Self-Paced Course): As a follow-up to the first round in January 2021, Boost, in partnership with People Power Health and Leading Change Network, will offer the self-paced course, Storytelling for Change. The course, scheduled to launch in early September, aims to provide further opportunities for immunization professionals to learn new skills to generate public emotion, values and action.
Adaptive Leadership Train-the-Trainer Workshop (Live Engagement – Invite Only): The need for effective leadership facilitation is increasing as the global community and organizational challenges get more complex, less certain and simply harder to manage. This four-day workshop will be focused on four of the core principles of Adaptive Leadership – a framework, language and set of tools and techniques for leading change through challenging and uncertain environments.
