Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of scientific communication in disease prevention and control, as well as in combating misinformation. This journalistic research project aims to provide information on new technological platforms for vaccine development and their regulation by Anvisa (Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency). The project will leverage the expertise of the research group supported by the JP Phase 2 grant to guide the development of informative audiovisual materials. The products have the potential to enhance vaccine confidence through accessible language and content tailored to the Brazilian population.
