When vaccine hesitancy puts seniors at risk, caregivers need the right tools. This course trains staff to explain vaccine benefits, address concerns with confidence, and reduce preventable illness—helping protect seniors, trust, and care operations.

Duration: 30 minutes | Format: SMS | Certificate included

Preventable Illness Shouldn’t Be a Business Risk

Missed or delayed vaccines don’t just affect health—they put seniors, staff, and your organization at risk. In senior care settings, vaccine hesitancy can lead to preventable illness, hospitalizations, outbreaks, and worried families questioning safety. COVID-19 made one thing clear: when vaccines are misunderstood or avoided, the consequences can be serious and far-reaching.

The Vaccines for Seniors course equips your caregivers to handle these challenges with confidence. In just 30 minutes, staff learn why vaccines matter for older adults, which vaccines are recommended, and how different COVID-19 vaccines compare. Most importantly, the course helps caregivers understand why seniors may hesitate—and how to respond clearly, calmly, and respectfully instead of avoiding the conversation.

This training helps reduce preventable illness, protect vulnerable seniors, and strengthen trust in your care services. With short lessons, interactive quizzes, and a digital certificate for documentation, it’s easy to roll out across your team. It’s a proactive step toward safer outcomes, stronger communication, and a care environment families can trust.
