In this episode of DISRxUPT, we continue our conversations about COVID-19 vaccines by diving into the topic of vaccine hesitancy. We are joined by Dr. Aleda Chen, interim dean and associate professor at the Cedarville University School of Pharmacy.  Listen in as Dr. Chen and Dr. Cole discuss the impact of vaccine hesitancy, common beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccines, and how the social determinants of health impact our health beliefs. We also discuss how healthcare providers can utilize patient-centered communication practices like motivational interviewing to engage patients with compassion and encourage vaccine confidence.
