EduMed.org has released three new online resources for allied health students and professionals looking to make a difference in vaccination awareness and preventative health.
RENO, Nev., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EduMed.org – a leader in nursing and allied health education information online – has launched a series of new resources to promote the importance of preventative health, including vaccination. These in-depth guides focus on the need to overcome the three C's of vaccine hesitancy (VH): confidence, complacency and convenience. Each guide in the collection addresses one or more of these C's.
"Vaccine hesitancy remains a top global health threat," said Wes Ricketts, founder of EduMed.org. "The best way for us to make a difference is to create content that shows people the benefits of both getting vaccinated and getting involved. There is more than one way to address VH."
EduMed's guide to vaccine education tackles the first C of "confidence", giving readers seven effective ways to discuss vaccines with those who may lack confidence in vaccines or their distribution systems. It also discusses the dangers of the second C of "complacency", and how a lack of vaccine uptake can exacerbate preventable diseases worldwide.
EduMed's new resource titled "Immunizations Made Easy" addresses the third C of "convenience" by dispelling many of the myths that surround access and affordability. The article explains how to find no-cost or low-cost vaccinations with or without insurance, and provides a list of vaccine options where providers will come to you.
"While confidence and complacency remain major components of vaccine hesitancy, some people believe vaccines are simply too inconvenient," said Ricketts. "Either they think they don't have easy access, or they feel they can't afford it."
