Dr. Wagner studies the predictors of vaccine-preventable disease incidence, with a particular focus on vaccine hesitancy. The long-term goals of Dr. Wagner’s research agenda are to characterize the pathways between public health messaging and the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases. This research will ask questions such as: how can public health messaging impact vaccine hesitancy and, in turn, vaccination uptake (including dimensions such as the timing and scheduling of various vaccines)? And then how does the scheduling of vaccination within a population affect the incidence of both vaccine-preventable diseases and all-cause infectious disease morbidity within the community?Abram received his PhD at the University of Michigan, and had postdoctoral fellowships at Michigan Medicine and Fudan University in Shanghai, China.
