By Tammy Wishard

Addressing vaccination hesitancy just got easier, thanks to a Vaccination Social Media Toolkit created by the Texas Medical Association’s Be Wise – ImmunizeSM program. The toolkit consists of shareable social media assets to help you convey that vaccinations for children and adults are important, safe, and effective.

Posts currently available address adult and childhood vaccinations, plus human papillomavirus (HPV), flu, and measles. Options are available sized for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Please share these messages to your social media pages and be sure to tag TMA.

Be Wise offers many other vaccination resources for physicians, including CME and vaccination infographics in English and Spanish. And be sure to check out other ways to get involved with Be Wise.

Be Wise – Immunize is a joint initiative led by TMA physicians, medical students, and the TMA Alliance. It is funded in 2020 by the TMA Foundation, thanks to major support from H-E-B and Permian Basin Youth Chavarim.

Be Wise – Immunize is a service mark of the Texas Medical Association.

 The website for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is blunt: “History shows that severe illness and death rates tend to be higher for racial and ethnic minority populations during public health emergencies than for other populations.” That is certainly happening with COVID-19. Emerging data already show that long-standing social determinants of health are stacked against Blacks and Hispanics in Texas, in some cases prompting a stronger call for value-based care, among other tools, so physicians can better help people of color cope with the health inequities brought on by COVID-19.
