Summary:In February 2022, an educational model was launched to train Louisiana pharmacists to become positive influencers of vaccination decisions via targeted, culturally competent interventions, with the objective of improving COVID-19 vaccine uptake in communities. A total of 47 pharmacists completed the course, and more than 90% noted that the education would help them optimize vaccine acceptance in their community practice settings. The pharmacists will participate in vaccine surveillance to assess the success of the educational model intervention and predictors of vaccine uptake.
