15. The Importance of COVID-19 Vaccination in Adult Populations

Beyond the Needle - A Physician's Guide to Increasing COVID-19 Vaccination Rates

With so much attention in the news about bivalent boosters and trying to keep up with changes in vaccination schedule guidelines, some of the focus has shifted away from having conversations with adults who remain unvaccinated. Corinne Kohler, MD, FAAFP, Carl Lambert, Jr., MD, FAAFP, and Marian R. Sassetti, MD, FAAFP remind us of the importance of making certain that everyone who is eligible receives the COVID-19 vaccines. Join our experts as they discuss where we are now, what we can do to keep the traction, and what has improved, or sometimes hurt, encouraging people to get vaccinated.

Topics include:

- Ways the COVID vaccination recommendations have changed in the last year and how patients perceive the vaccine
- Successful approaches they have used to get the message out to the adult population to get them into the clinic to be vaccinated
- Sharing responses to frequently asked questions
- Addressing vaccine hesitancy
- Ways to change the narrative around immune strength and why getting vaccinated isn’t just about preventing death

Objectives:

- Understand reasons why it is important to continue to have conversations with adults who have not been vaccinated
- Explore ways to increase the vaccination rates for your adult patients
