    Brief

    This project aims to understand and improve vaccine uptake among livestock keepers, veterinarians, and other stakeholders across multiple animal disease contexts. The research will identify behavioral, social, and institutional factors that influence vaccination decisions, including the roles of trusted advisers, supply chains, and industry bodies. The project will assess vaccination challenges in routine prevention, disease eradication, and emergency outbreak response programs. Based on these findings, the project will design, test, and evaluate specific behavioral interventions, communication strategies, and policy mechanisms to increase vaccine acceptance and improve disease control outcomes. The evidence generated will support the development of effective vaccination policies that integrate behavioral insights with epidemiological, economic, and operational considerations, with applications across diverse animal health and welfare contexts.
