AHRQ Resource Supports Increasing COVID-19 Vaccinations Among Certified Nursing Assistants

Invest in Trust: A Guide for Building COVID-19 Vaccine Trust and Increasing Vaccination Rates Among CNAs, a new guide released by AHRQ is designed to help nursing home leaders build confidence in COVID-19 vaccinations among certified nursing assistants (CNAs).

The guide sheds light on CNAs’ reasons for not getting vaccinated and offers practical advice on how to have conversations about the vaccine, what kinds of messages to use and how to support CNAs in making their decisions. Also included are posters, information cards and designs for pins to celebrate vaccination status.

The guide was developed by the Center for Public Interest Communications for AHRQ’s Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network.
