DESCRIPTION:Session: Chppd Poster Session 6 Program: Community Health Plan
 ning and Policy Development Presenter: Shankeri Vijayakumar Abstract Back
 ground Vaccine hesitancy is a phenomenon that predates the COVID-19 pande
 mic and has been steadily rising for the past several years. The increasi
 ng hesitancy around vaccinations and the resurgence of many vaccine preve
 ntable communicable diseases led the World Health Organization (WHO) to l
 ist vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health. The
  WHO defines vaccine hesitancy as a “delay in acceptance or refusal of va
 ccination despite availability of vaccination services”. Often discourse 
 diffuses the responsibility to be educated about vaccinations as an indiv
 idual responsibility. However\, this directs focus away from institutions
  and historical factors that have led to the development of vaccine hesit
 ant beliefs amongst certain populations. Communities of colour have histo
 rically been subjected to unjust treatment from medical and scientific in
 stitutions and many individuals continue to experience medical bias to th
 is day.This review exlpores What strategies have been suggested or implem
 ented to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy amongst racial and ethnic pop
 ulations in North America? Methods A scoping review was conducted to aggr
 egate and analyze literature on addressing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy amo
 ngst racial and ethnic populations. The scoping review was informed by th
 e PPC and Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework. Relevant literature was s
 earched across 5 academic databases. The review included 98 papers. Resul
 ts Overarching strategies and approaches to address COVID-19 vaccine hesi
 tancy amongst racial and ethnic populations included: addressing structur
 al barriers to vaccine uptake in addition to individual behaviour\, tailo
 ring health promotion messages for different racial and ethnic groups\, e
 mergency Departments (EDs) as a critical point for COVID-19 vaccine messa
 ging and delivery\, community-oriented and clinic based practices to deve
 lop culturally competent interventions\, and partnerships between public 
 health units and trusted. community figures and leaders. Conclusion: This
  scoping review provides an aggregate of literature on strategies and app
 roaches to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy amongst racial and ethnic p
 opulations in North America. For populations at higher risk of COVID-19 i
 nfection\, especially populations with pre-existing economic\, social\, a
 nd political disadvantages\, dismantling barriers to vaccine uptake are c
 rucial. Approaches to addressing vaccine hesitancy must engage community 
 members\, build trust\, and advance health equity.\n\nSpeaker:\nShankeri
