COVID-19 VACCINE
BOOTCAMPS
Empowering Providers
to Improve Vaccine Uptake
I-VAC was developed to support the expansion of COVID-19 vaccine administration into routine patient care workflows in primary care settings, hospital urgent care centers, and upon hospital discharge. COVID-19 Vaccine Bootcamps are specially designed to give providers and provider organizations important foundational knowledge and skills related to COVID-19 vaccine administration and distribution. This includes developing a process for identifying unvaccinated patients, learning how to embed reminders for vaccines into your workflow, and creating strategies for overcoming vaccine hesitancy through culturally and linguistically appropriate methods.
Participation Information
Bootcamps are held weekly, for one-hour, through live web-based sessions for four weeks. Each session will include a didactic lecture and Q&A. Topics include:
- Foundational knowledge and skills related to COVID-19 vaccine administration and distribution (I-CARE, working with local health departments, etc.)
- Handling, preparation and clinical guidance around COVID-19 vaccines, including pediatric doses
