Dr Elżbieta Czapka from the Centre for Sustainable Development at the University of Gdańsk, together with a team of researchers from the Pandemic Centre based at the Alrek Health Cluster in Bergen, Norway, will carry out the project. ‘Increasing migrants’ access to vaccine information in the Tri-city’.

Funded by an intervention grant from the National Agency for Academic Exchange, the project addresses an important social, civilisational problem with both global and regionally relevant implications. It addresses access to vaccination knowledge among refugees, disparities in vaccination calendars, the low enforceability of mandatory vaccination and the growing activity of anti-vaccination movements.
