BurghMeetsWorld: Who is the vaccine for?
BurghMeetsWorld is a series of public events that explores the intersections between global concerns and local issues. This April we ask, “Who is the vaccine for?”
Through interactive dialogue with community leaders, we will learn about the current obstacles of vaccine distribution and education in Pittsburgh such as language access, vaccine gentrification, and medical mistrust. We will challenge ourselves to go beyond meeting the immediate needs of community health and vaccination by engaging with the systems, identities, and narratives that shape these obstacles. Together we will explore how these conversations connect to broader global discussions around global vaccine inequity and resource distribution.
Together we decide how Pittsburgh meets the world.
Our partners for this event include:
– Casa San Jose, Benjamin Gutschow
– UMPC Pediatrics, Dr. Maya Ragavan
– JFCS Refugee & Immigrant Services, Yesmina Salib
– 1hood Media, Miracle Jones
– Allegheny Health Network Center for Inclusion Health, Aurora Ortiz
