Messages for Health Care Workers

Strategies for Healthcare Workers

Health care workers can potentially transmit the virus to patients, co-workers, your family, and others in your community. It is important to protect yourself first. You are on the front lines and risk being exposed to people with COVID-19 each day on the job.

• Protecting yourself also helps protect your patients, coworkers, family, and community, including those who may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

• Vaccination allows you to protect vulnerable patients that you care for every day.

• You play an essential role in keeping your community healthy.

• You are a leader in science and can set an example to others in the community.

• You can serve as a vaccine champion and positively influence the vaccination decisions of peers, patients, friends, and family.
