Fidelis Care would like to announce our annual Fluvention Campaign and encourage our providers to educate their patients on the benefits of an annual flu shot.
We know that you have the best interest of your patients at heart. More than that, you have their trust. Research shows that patients are more likely to get a flu shot if their doctor recommends it. Your strong recommendation is the most effective way to ensure your patients they get their flu shot.
You can use the SHARE method to provide information:
• SHARE reasons to get the flu shot based on their age or other risk factors.
• HIGHLIGHT positive experiences with the flu shot to reinforce benefits.
• ADDRESS concerns about the vaccine, including effectiveness, side effects, safety and misconceptions.
• REMIND patients that the flu shot not only protects them but also everyone around them.
• EXPLAIN that getting the flu can mean taking sick days from work or missing fun with family and friends.
Follow-up is important! Talk to your patients about where and when they will get their flu shot, and make a note to confirm they received their flu shot during their next visit.
You have a key role to play in recommending your patients get the flu shot, and Fidelis Care is here to help.
