Immunization Ambassadors Present "10 Ways to Give More Vaccinations"

The Immunization Ambassadors, the advocacy group of STC (Scientific Technologies Corporation), a leader in immunization intelligence™, today released its list of ways for pharmacies and clinics to increase the number of people they protect with flu shots and other immunizations.

Calling upon knowledge gained from STC’s All-American Flu Fighters™ program (“You Didn’t Get It From Me™”) and with help from the pharmacists of the Discount Drug Mart chain, the ideas don’t just make the implementing of vaccinations easier and faster, but give providers suggestions on creating better ways to persuade people to get vaccinated.

The ideas include…

• A clever way to distract patients so they don’t even feel the shot happening,
• Changing the language of immunizations (e.g., It’s not a “shot”, it’s “protecting your family”),
• Creating positive peer pressure to persuade coworkers/family to join in,
• How to position the arm to minimize pain,
• Turning the business of giving immunizations into a lively competition.

The full list, with specifics, can be found at…
