Overcoming Vaccine Hesitancy: The Role of the First 5 Minutes Approach

Deep Breaths: Updates from CHEST

Guest: Ryan Maves, MD
Guest: Susan Corbridge, PhD, APRN, ACNP-BC, FAANP, FCCP, FAAN
Although there have been several advances in vaccine technology and safety the past few years, the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy among patients is increasing. Since vaccine hesitancy heightens the burden of potentially life-threatening viruses like RSV and influenza, Dr. Ryan Maves speaks with Dr. Susan Corbridge about why patients might be reluctant to get vaccinated and how we can use the First 5 Minutes approach to provide individualized counseling on the importance of vaccines. Dr. Maves is a Professor of Medicine and Anesthesiology in the Sections of Infectious Diseases and Critical Care Medicine at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Dr. Corbridge is a Professor Emerita at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Nursing.
