Video 2: As part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Creative Health Alliance, Warwickshire County Council Public Health has commissioned several artists to deliver important vaccination information in innovative and creative ways across the county. The purpose of the artwork is to provide reassurance and encourage positive behavioural change towards getting the COVID-19 vaccine. The artists have worked in a range of media to create engaging work, from comic strips and videos to animations, songs and even the colourful wrapping of messaging across public transport. Where required each artist has also worked closely with focus groups in order to obtain real, valid experiences and represent the genuine thoughts and feelings of Warwickshire’s residents. Anthony Barkworth Knight, creator of this "A Sense of Pride" short film, said: "I was drawn to this project as I feel passionately about vaccine uptake, not only as a way to help ourselves but also as a way we can help each other."
