Demystifying Vaccine Skepticism Among
Direct Care Workers
Just over half of all front-line health care workers have received at least the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Of these workers, home health professionals are the least vaccinated, as reported in a recent article by Home Health Care News.
Why?
Vaccine skepticism is a pressing challenge faced by many home health agencies across the nation - keeping critical workers from helping the most vulnerable population.
Join us as we hear from Dr. Mati Hlatshwayo Davis, a recognized epidemiologist and frequent CNN contributor on issues of vaccine skepticism and how vaccine perceptions are influenced. She will be joined by David Rosales EVP and Chief Strategy at VNSNY who will share how VNSNY has successfully rolled out the vaccine to thousands of their care workers. You will takeaway actionable strategies to engage your caregiver workforce in this important initiative!
