About three in ten adults in the US,1 including health care workers2 and others, do not want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This leaves far too many health care staff3 and other adults prone to the virus and its spread. It also means that those disproportionately affected by COVID-19, especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), may be further at risk for infection due to lower vaccine uptake by themselves and others who may expose them.

This guide is intended to help health care staff and leaders have trust-building conversations about the vaccine, both at work and at home. Trust-building4 is a key component of addressing and correcting inequities in health care. Exploring people’s feelings about the vaccine through respectful, trust-building interactions5 over time offers the potential to increase the uptake of vaccinations.
