This webinar will address three crucial immunizations for pregnant patients (COVID-19, flu, and TDAP). After discussing the importance of vaccination and the history of vaccine hesitancy, we will discuss motivational interviewing and how its techniques can be used with vaccine-hesitant patients. We will end with case examples so providers can see motivational interviewing in practice. 

This webinar took place live on April 25, 2023, at 1pm ET. The recording will be available to watch on demand until April 25, 2024. To watch the recording, click the live web event at the bottom of this page.
