About the virtual event:

The event will focus on the significant progress that has been made in activating providers in the vaccinations effort, as well as a number of best practices health systems and providers have committed to in order to further increase vaccine confidence and uptake. These include, for example, offering vaccinations at Emergency Departments, upon discharge from hospitals, and at all primary care offices in a health system; partnering with community and faith-based organizations to host pop-up clinics and educate communities about the vaccine; and proactively reaching out to unvaccinated patients about getting vaccinated.

During the event, attendees will hear from health system leaders and providers on these and other best practices they are implementing to increase shots in arms, and to do so equitably. The event will also be an opportunity to thank health systems and providers for their continued service to their patients, state, and country throughout the COVID-19 response and vaccine rollout.
