Be a Vaccine Positive Clinic
Family physicians and their teams are well suited to provide the COVID-19 vaccine, and to educate patients about the importance of getting vaccinated.
Vaccine hesitancy substantially improves after patients receive educational resources and information from a trusted physician. You know your patients and their story and they trust you more than any other group for healthcare advice.
A toolkit has been developed to support family physicians and practice teams in providing and discussing COVID-19 vaccination. Check back regularly for the most up-to-date information. The content has been consolidated as of August 10.
Dr. Adam Vyse, a family physician from High River, explains the value of primary care in the COVID-19 vaccination effort.
This toolkit contains the following pages:
Immunization clinic tools
Materials to help primary care clinics support the COVID-19 immunization effort and plan to become an immunization site.
COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs
Answers to common patient and provider questions about the COVID-19 vaccines. Includes links to information sheets, posters, and videos.
Addressing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
Conversation tools for discussing vaccines with patients.
The toolkit includes content and links from our partners, including the Government of Canada, Alberta Health, Alberta Health Services, the Centre for Effective Practice, 19 to Zero, the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta, the Alberta College of Family Physicians and more.
