CMS Shares 6 Ways to Build Vaccine Confidence
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Chicago Local Engagement Team recently held a workshop on how to build vaccine confidence. During the session, the team shared six ways in which this can be done:
- Encourage leaders in your family, community, or organizations to be vaccine champions.
- Have discussions with your friends and family about vaccination to understand their perspective and encourage their decision to vaccinate.
- Share key messages that promote action through multiple trusted channels.
- Help educate people about COVID-19 vaccines, including how they were developed and their intense safety monitoring, and how you can talk to others about the vaccines.
- Learn more about finding credible vaccine information. When you come across COVID-19 information, cross-check with CDC.gov and learn how to respond to misinformation you encounter.
- Make your decision to get vaccinated visible and celebrate it!
CMS also offers numerous resources and toolkits to help spread the message of slowing the spread of COVID-19 through vaccination.
