(March 2021) – Even as the rollout of the COVIC vaccines accelerate with more availability and access, there is a worry among health care professionals involved with the vaccine that a significant percentage of the population, including health care professionals, may continue to balk at getting the shot(s) due to a variety of concerns.
The process has involved pharmacists from early on in the rollout as the CDC permitted pharmacists and pharmacy technicians permission to administer the vaccine after proper training.
Now the pharmaceutical profession can play another role in influencing those people reluctant to get the shot: public relations.
Pharmacists Public Health Initiatives has provided a messaging tool kit with sample social media posts, including complementary images, that are easy to use and are aimed at getting the word out to customers and pharmacy followers that they should get the vaccine.
Additional updated resources, including answering questions & addressing myths about the vaccine are at the Prescribe Wellness blog and at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
