It's Worth a Shot to Help Increase

Covid-19 Vaccination Rates

Join the Campaign to Help Save Lives this Season

Increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates is a team sport. Providers across the healthcare continuum can all play a role in encouraging individuals - especially those at highest risk - to get the full series of vaccines, including the bivalent booster.

Remember to WAVE When You See a Patient

One way for you to join this effort is to remember the acronym WAVE when you see a patient. WAVE helps you remember to ask: "What About Vaccines?" at EVERY encounter. Patients trust the guidance they receive from their familiar providers regarding vaccine safety and efficacy. Having a conversation about vaccines at every encounter goes a long way toward increasing vaccine uptake.

Stay tuned for updates on upcoming educational offerings, a podcast for medical directors, a toll-free number where you can direct questions, access new tools and resources, and more.
