Join us for an interactive discussion on why vaccine hesitancy exists, specifically among certain populations, and ways to respond and educate patients and clients. Following this webinar, participants will:

- Identify key factors associated with the decision to accept, delay or refuse vaccines.
- Understand the basic process for vaccine development and the safety considerations inherent in the development process.
- Recognize the importance of vaccination in achieving herd immunity among the general population.
- Identify strategies for addressing vaccine hesitancy among patient/client populations.
