In this Healthed lecture, immunisation educator Angela Newbound discusses, vaccination rates should be helped by the fact that COVID-19 vaccines can be safely co-administered with other routine immunisations such as flu vaccines. However, uptake remains less than ideal, hindered by access barriers, misperceptions about vaccine safety, and reduced risk perception. Ms Newbound outlines some practical strategies that have been proven to improve vaccination rates in primary care such as implementing streamlined workflows, proactive patient recall, opportunistic co-administration, and consistent, evidence-based communication that strengthens vaccine confidence.
