3M's Vaccination Quality Improvement Project Slides

Pdf Summary

The 3M Vaccination Quality Improvement Project aimed to boost vaccination rates and tackle hesitancy among the 3M workforce. The study involved two pilot sites conducting surveys, education modules, and consultations with Occupational Health Nurses. The results showed increased acceptance of vaccines, particularly for influenza and COVID-19. Despite concerns about adverse effects and newer vaccines, there was an overall uptick in COVID-19 vaccination rates. The study also highlighted the importance of routine adult immunizations such as Td/Tdap, influenza, and COVID-19 vaccines. The project identified the need to refine survey questions, expand the pilot to more sites, and establish a connection between the electronic medical record and state immunization registries. The findings indicated a positive shift in vaccine beliefs and attitudes among participants. Moving forward, the project plans to enhance educational materials, increase sample size, and ensure the program's broader impact through improved data connectivity. This initiative underscores the significance of regular vaccinations for safeguarding individual and community health, offering insights into promoting vaccine uptake and overcoming hesitancy.
