Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for all health professionals: primary care, pediatricians, specialists, advanced practice nurses, nurses, physician assistants, medical assistants, pharmacists, medical social workers, community health workers, promotoras, public health professionals.

The goal of this activity is to equip health professionals with techniques and examples for building trust and increasing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among patients who remain unvaccinated. The activity draws on the work of Made to Save, a national grassroots and mobilization campaign supporting communities of color in COVID-19 vaccine outreach. Through their work with hundreds of organizations in diverse communities across the country, they have gained valuable insights into best practices in reaching communities that historically have had challenges with the healthcare system and medical research.

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  1. Develop skills in effective vaccine conversations with patients based on motivational interviewing by employing trust, empathy, and helping them find their own reason for getting vaccinated.
  2. Develop skills in addressing misinformation during vaccine conversations with patients.
