The Virginia Cooperative Extension EXCITE Team and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) conducted a symposium with Extension Agents for them to learn more about the EXCITE project funded through CDC and ways that they can get involved in vaccine education!

This session introduced our vaccine ambassadors and their roles in their respective localities, provided background on adult vaccinations and the current vaccination schedule, and discussed approaches to communicating vaccine confidence, with motivational interviewing as a tool to help address vaccine hesitancy.
