Your recommendation remains one of the strongest influences on whether a patient chooses to be vaccinated. That’s especially important as you care for older adults and patients at higher risk for serious illness from influenza and COVID-19.

To guide those conversations, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has developed patient-friendly conversation guides that make it easier to encourage shared decision making and meaningful discussions during office visits. These easy-to-use tools can help you explain vaccine recommendations, answer patient questions, and build confidence.

Explore these resources and incorporate them into your workflow this season. They offer another practical way to support the trusted conversations you have with patients every day.
