Establishing and Maintaining a Vaccine-Positive Practice Culture.

Abstract

A vaccine-positive practice culture encourages immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases by supporting policies and practices that reduce barriers and improve efficacy for vaccine delivery. Key components of a vaccine-positive practice include a well-trained, knowledgeable, collaborative health care practice team; access to immunizations in the practice; and a vaccine practice champion. Leveraging these encourages a provaccine environment and fosters productive dialogue, even among vaccine-hesitant patients/parents.
