Join us in touching a little bit of everything related to immunizations! From vaccine hesitancy and fatigue to motivational interviewing techniques, including counseling strategies for adolescent vaccine gaps. Experts in the field will hit on FAQs about spacing vaccine administrations, discuss avenues for incorporating vaccine screenings into workflow, highlight vaccination pearls, and reinforce strategies to initiate what can be difficult conversations about HPV and HBV, especially in underserved communities.

This activity is sponsored by independent educational grants from Moderna, GSK and Merck Sharp & Dohme.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify factors contributing to vaccine hesitancy and fatigue
  • Summarize effective motivational interviewing techniques to address patient concerns related to immunizations
  • List counseling approaches tailored to closing vaccine gaps in the adolescent population
  • Describe strategies to initiate conversations about human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines while fostering cultural sensitivity and patient trust
  • Discuss opportunities to integrate vaccine screenings into pharmacy workflow to facilitate early identification of vaccination needs and improve patient engagement
