Resources for Healthcare Workers

As a trusted source of information for Canadians, healthcare workers are integral in promoting vaccine uptake and other safe behaviours across the population.

 

Every patient interaction is an opportunity for you to create a positive impact. 19 to Zero is committed to supporting healthcare workers to:

  • Get educated about vaccines so you can feel confident in your decisions and recommendations,

  • Get skilled at having constructive conversations about vaccination with patients, and

  • Get vaccinated yourself to demonstrate your commitment to keeping others safe.

Immunization Conversations: Simulation Training

In collaboration with CAN-Sim, the University of Calgary, and the University of Waterloo, 19 to Zero has co-developed a simulation training program for students and healthcare providers (e.g nurses, pharmacists and physicians) to enhance their ability and confidence in holding effective immunization conversations with patients. 

 

The toolkit consists of CME accredited Virtual Simulation Games (VSGs) in both English and French covering a variety of topics around immunization counseling conversations.  These VSGs walk providers through typical patient vaccine counseling conversations, highlighting key opportunities to better support patients' decision making process and address concerns regarding immunization, with the goal of improving patients ability to make informed immunization decisions for themselves and their families.
