Eve Dubé is an adjunct professor in the Department of Anthropology at Laval University and a researcher in the Infectious and Immune Diseases program of the CHU de Québec-Université Laval Research Center.

Her field of expertise is anthropology of public health. She is particularly interested in the social, cultural, historical, and religious dimensions of infectious disease prevention. She holds the CIHR Applied Public Health Chair on the Anthropology of Vaccination INSPQ-ULaval. She is the chair of the Social Science and Humanities Network of the Canadian Immunization Research Network since 2014.

The goal of her program is to identify the individual, sociocultural, structural, and historical factors that impact vaccination and to develop equitable, sustainable, and efficient strategies to enhance vaccine acceptance and uptake. Her research projects are structured around two axes that aim 1) To better understand the expressions, causes, and impacts of vaccine hesitancy in the general public and among health care providers; and 2) To develop and evaluate interventions to improve equitable access to vaccination services, address vaccine hesitancy, and ensure individuals make informed vaccination decisions that are aligned with their values.

She sits on several Canadian (e.g., National Advisory Committee on Immunization, Canadian Association for Immunization Research and Evaluation) and international (e.g., WHO’s Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Hazards, WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety) committees as an expert on vaccine hesitancy.
