Resources for Healthcare Professionals: 2023 Vaccine Advocacy Toolkit
Our 2023 Vaccine Advocacy Toolkit gives healthcare professionals an accessible, useful, and concise set of tools specifically tailored to increase vaccine uptake and address the main barriers that Hispanic people face in our current healthcare system.
This toolkit places a special emphasis on fostering an empathetic and caring relationship between patients and their healthcare providers, which is essential to overcoming barriers to care.
