ST3.2.1 Questionnaire for healthcare professionals and agencies

Validation of guidance document presenting communication strategies for healthcare professionals and agencies

The purpose of this consultation is to validate the contents of the guidance document for health professionals and agencies, which offers a set of communication strategies with the aim to increase vaccine uptake for healthcare professionals (HCPs) and to engage more effectively with vaccine-resistant groups in times of major infectious disease outbreaks. This guidance document has been produced as part of a larger exercise with the overall aim to develop a Practical Guide for Outbreak Communication, for different actors involved in the outbreak communication process.

In order to incorporate this guidance document into the comprehensive version of the Practical Guide for Outbreak Communication, we consider it a crucial step to get expert feedback on the draft document. This helps us check the scientific quality, practical value and comprehensiveness of these communication strategies with their target audiences.
