Improving COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence – A Wheel of Knowledge Challenge! is organized by Healio.
Release Date: September 30, 2023
Expiration Date: September 29, 2024
Activity Description
COVID-19 continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in vulnerable populations. With persistent circulation of COVID-19 in the community, vaccination is an essential tool to limit community infection and progression to severe illness in at-risk individuals. Because immunization is the most effective means of prevention, clinicians must have robust knowledge regarding the available COVID-19 vaccines, the differences among them, and recommendations for their use. In this Wheel of Knowledge Challenge! gaming activity, your knowledge will be tested on the COVID-19 disease burden and risk factors, available vaccines, and anticipated changes for 2023-2024. Your hosts will also discuss the differences between COVID-19 vaccine technologies, current recommendations, and interprofessional strategies to improve vaccine uptake.
Learning Objective
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
• Review the burden and associated risk factors for severe disease or persistent symptoms for patients with a COVID-19 infection.
• List recommended procedures for the early and accurate differential diagnosis of COVID-19.
• Compare the latest efficacy and safety data for current and emerging COVID-19 vaccines.
• Summarize interprofessional strategies to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake, especially in populations with health disparities.
