Thatâs why we are planning extensively now and building a true whole-of-community approach. While we are still months away from the vaccine being widely available to the public at-large, we are starting the work now to build trust and confidence, ensuring that the public has the information that they need to understand the process and feel safe taking the vaccine.â
