Targeted Messages for Health Care Workers

• Protect yourself – you are on the front lines and risk being exposed to people with COVID-19 each day on the job. 

• You can potentially transmit the virus to patients, co-workers, your family, and to others in your community.

• Protecting yourself also helps protect your patients, coworkers, family, and community including those who may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

• Vaccination allows you to protect vulnerable patients that you care for every day.

• You play an essential role in keeping your community healthy.

• You are a leader in science and can set an example to others in the community.

• You can serve as a vaccine champion and positively influence the vaccination decisions of peers, patients, friends, and family.
