We combine fundamental social science research with practice, to promote informed vaccination. Being hosted by OVG benefits from the opportunity to work across disciplines. I’m keen to connect, to collaborate, and to provide social science and qualitative research input into your projects.
We started off the unit last month with a workshop. If you want to watch recordings of the various talks, see VAS Events website.
The team
The unit is comprised of researchers working on the social study of vaccination: DPhil candidates, research assistants, research associates, and visiting academics (see the website for the full team, collaborations, and projects). Team members based at OVG concentrate on public/policy impact and practical interventions, including Sophia Wilkinson and Charlie Firth (Vaccine Knowledge), Lucky Khan (OVG comms), and Karen Ford (immunisation education).
