Mobilizing outputs from INPUT: The Information Needs, Perspectives and Uncertainties of COVID-19 Project. Co-creating opportunities for shared dialogue to address knowledge and information needs within the context of racialized communities prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination.

The Information Needs, Perspectives, and Uncertainties on COVID-19 Vaccinations (INPUT) project has worked closely with community partners, especially within the Historic African Nova Scotian (ANS)communities of the Preston Township, to explore concerns about COVID-19 vaccines, discover what information and sources of information are valued in decision-making, and how knowledge is best shared based on values, beliefs and culture. Through our partnership and work on the INPUT project, it has become clear that there are many unanswered questions and concerns about COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination, most notably around the policy decision-making that prompted the prioritization of the ANS community. In keeping with the values expressed by our community partners, we propose the co-creation of a series of evenings of conversation between valued experts and community members where knowledge can be exchanged and new insights formed for all participants around the issues and concerns arising from the work of the INPUT study.
