MandEval
Multidisciplinary vaccine research and policy project.
The MandEval Project
We are a global team of researchers from diverse fields—including Political Science, Medicine, Psychology, and Economics—investigating the impact and public response to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The MandEval team includes experts from Australia, France, Italy, and California, and our work is supported by the Medical Research Future Fund.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how important it is not just to develop vaccines, but to understand how to translate vaccine availability to health policy improvements."Professor Katie Attwell
What we do
Through different study streams, MandEval aims to better inform policy-makers and future pandemic preparedness, as well as policy settings for routine adult and childhood immunisation programs.
Our study streams are each led by a Chief Investigator who is an expert in the relevant field. The study streams include:

COVID-19 Vaccination mandates – community conversation: insights
The University of Western Australia’s School of Social Sciences’ VaxPolLab was successfully awarded national funding to explore the impact of government COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The VaxPolLab MandEval team actively partnered with the Consumer and Community Involvement Program to facilitate a Community Conversation to bring together people with a range of views on COVID-19 vaccines, to discuss their lived experience of the impact of mandatory vaccination policies.
