Nurses are the most trusted healthcare professionals in America, consistently rated highest in the country for their honesty and ethics. Not only do nurses play a vital role in the administration of vaccines, they are also essential for building vaccine confidence and trust. When nurses recommend a vaccine, their patients listen.
From 2021 to 2023, NNCC operated the Nurse-Led Vaccine Confidence Project, a national cooperative agreement funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to build and reinforce vaccine confidence among nursing providers, non-clinical health center staff, and the patient community. Our project goals included:
- Providing the information clinicians needed to speak with members of their care team and their patients about COVID-19 vaccines.
- Providing learning opportunities to hear from experts on up-to-date guidance, share experiences with nursing colleagues, and strengthen the nursing role.
- Elevating the nursing voice by featuring everyday nurse champions.
