Our
AAMCNews team has just published a new story on the different approaches that hospitals are taking regarding COVID-19 vaccination.
More large health systems are requiring all staff to get vaccinated; others are opting for gentle persuasion. Here are the factors that drive those approaches: https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/should-hospitals-mandate-covid-19-vaccination
We'd love to hear your thoughts here in the community on the topic:

Subject: Talking to Health Care Personnel About Getting Vaccinated: New Podcast Episode and Discussion
Science is the only way out of the pandemic. While health care personnel were the first group in the United States to be offered the vaccines, many remain unconvinced and unprotected. In this episode of "Beyond the White Coat," I talk with Houston Methodist President and CEO Marc Boom, and Memorial Hermann Health System President and CEO David Callender, about the challenges health care systems are experiencing in trying to ensure their staff are vaccinated and what can be done to build vaccine confidence. Listen here or wherever you stream podcasts.
After you listen to the episode, I would love to hear what your institution is doing to build vaccine confidence in your community, and what type of outreach can other institutions and facilities put in place to build vaccine confidence among their health care personnel?
