AOHC Encore 2023-224 Part I: Best Practices to Increase Vaccination Rates Among Workers

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Beth Baker, the moderator of the video, introduces herself as the chair of the ACOM Physician Advisory Workgroup for the CMSS and CDC Collaborative Agreement. The session focuses on best practices to increase vaccination rates among workers, particularly in occupational settings. The ACOM was selected as one of seven partner societies to partner with the Council of Medical Specialty Societies and CDC in a collaborative agreement. The recommendations for increasing vaccination rates are based on the CDC Standards for Adult Immunization Practice. ACOM's role is to partner with healthcare systems to develop and implement quality improvement interventions to increase adult vaccination rates in their clinics. The pilot sites selected for the intervention are a manufacturing site and an R&D lab office setting. Key challenges include vaccine hesitancy and barriers, such as trust issues and fear of side effects. To address these challenges, the intervention includes education sessions, online modules, and individual nurse consultations. The goal is to improve vaccine assessment, promote vaccine awareness, and implement quality improvement initiatives. Lessons learned include the importance of trust, active listening, and personalization in vaccine education. Moving forward, the team plans to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate resources, streamline processes, and improve communication between electronic health records and state registries. The session concludes with a presentation from Dr. Rajiv Das, who discusses the challenges and opportunities for vaccine hesitancy in the Albertsons Company. The focus is on addressing vaccine hesitancy through active listening, trust-building, personalization, and education. The team plans to implement streaming videos, active clinics, and store director meetings to improve vaccine uptake. Overall, the session provides insights into different approaches to increasing vaccination rates among workers and highlights the importance of personalized, culturally appropriate education and trust-building in addressing vaccine hesitancy. The credits for the transcript go to Beth Baker and Dr. Rajiv Das.
