Despite highly transmissible variants and compelling evidence that COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduce the risks of hospitalization and death, healthcare providers are still struggling to encourage vaccine-hesitant Americans to seek protection from the virus.

Many providers and other team members remain unsure of how to even broach the subject with the individuals they are caring for.

So, our clinical team created a new virtual training course based on the perspectives of both community members and the providers and care teams who serve them to give frontline staff the tools to address vaccine hesitancy in patients through techniques like motivational interviewing and presumptive language.
