Community health workers and outreach workers play a vital role in keeping our communities safe. CHWs are often the frontline ensuring families have access to accurate, trusted information about vaccines. This immunization season, rapid changes in federal recommendations, barriers to access for uninsured and underinsured populations, and the circulation of rumors have made the vaccine landscape more challenging than ever.
This webinar will present practical communication strategies for addressing misleading information and confusion in the community while reinforcing key takeaways from the “Fall Vaccines for Marginalized Communities: Building Clarity, Guidance, & Trust” webinar.
Participants will learn how to build trust, navigate tough conversations, and connect individuals and families to accessible vaccine options.
This webinar is part of our two-part Fall Vaccination series. Register for the accompanying webinar, “Fall Vaccines for Marginalized Communities: Building Clarity, Guidance, & Trust.”
