VIRA, the Vax Chatbot

VIRA chatbot

COVID-19 vaccination is lagging in young adults nationally. As a result, the Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) worked with AI researchers at IBM Research to launch VIRA, the Vax Chatbot, designed to support and meet young people where they are with simple answers to common COVID-19 vaccine questions. VaxChat provides 24/7 access to pre-vetted COVID-19 vaccine messages from IVAC. Chat with VIRA and provide your feedback!
