AAFP to Launch a National Consumer Immunization Campaign
The campaign will help move patients from vaccine hesitancy to confidence by emphasizing that vaccines are a selfless act of prevention that protects those who are more vulnerable and builds a community of immunity.
The campaign will feature educational patient content and present family physicians to address the importance of getting vaccinated. Select markets will pilot a custom band-aid to drive additional awareness.
The full campaign featuring paid media placement will launch on Nov. 9, but initial resources are available now. New resources will be added each month through February.
Here’s how to get involved!
- Visit familydoctor.org/vaccines(familydoctor.org) and share the campaign resources with patients through practice and personal social media channels.
- Visit aafp.org/vaccines to download and print posters for practice setting.
