Vaccine Resources for Hospitals and Health Care Workers

These resources were developed between July 2020-March 2024

The people working in hospitals and health systems are trusted sources of information. Answering questions, sharing personal reasons for getting vaccinated, and respecting concerns of those not yet ready to get their vaccine are all powerful ways the health care field can help their communities stay healthy.
