Vaccine counseling has become an increasingly critical component of patient care. This training will provide evidence-based communication approaches that strengthen provider patient relationships and methods to respond effectively when patients express questions, concerns, and hesitancy. This event is designed for physicians, healthcare providers, and professionals involved in patient-facing communication — including marketing and communications team members who help shape public understanding and trust.
What you’ll learn:

Evidence-based communication strategies
How to respond to patient questions, concerns, and hesitancy
Methods to strengthen provider-patient trust

This event is an extension of the “Back the Science. Broadcast the Facts.” campaign. In early 2025, local healthcare providers partnered to combat the confusion caused by recent childhood vaccine recommendations from HHS and the CDC. The Allen County Department of Health, Fort Wayne Pediatrics, IU Health Medical Group, Lutheran Health Physicians, Parkview Health, Pediatric Associates Inc., and Super Shot Inc. came together to create a PSA encouraging parents to trust their local doctors when making vaccine decisions. https://youtu.be/C8Ty_g4l97Y?si=ZgVrMnLorHU8HTKb
