– Associate Professor of Health Outcomes Research & Policy, Harrison School of Pharmacy, Auburn University
Description: Engaging adults in vaccination, both for themselves and for their children, is a critical preventive health issue facing providers in healthcare settings. This workshop will introduce a patient-centered style of conversation called Motivational Interviewing (MI) that can help strengthen patient readiness for vaccination. Participants will have an opportunity to practice open-ended questions and reflective listening, to apply an Ask-Offer-Ask model of information exchange related to vaccines, and to work with a readiness ruler to support the patient’s change talk in favor of vaccination.

Aisha Bhatti, PharmD – Director of Pharmacy, Home Towne Rx
Description: This interactive session will guide participants through insights from panelists to address sustainability of adult flu vaccination. Panelists will explore research on vaccination promotion, resource leveraging, and the development of an online toolkit to help organizations develop sustainable partnerships that increase adult flu vaccination. To enhance the capacity and sustainability of grassroots partners, researchers interviewed key influencers in Trenton, Atlanta, and Houston to better understand what works in their communities. Efforts focus on African Americans and Hispanics, who historically have lower coverage rates of influenza vaccination than the overall population.
