On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Pat Salber, MD, MBA, of The Doctor Weighs In, interviews the developer of interactive, people-centered, multimedia, educational programs for Wolters Kluwer Health.
Addressing vaccine hesitancy, which may take the form of refusing a vaccine or putting oneself in the “wait and see” camp while thinking it over, has never been more urgent as health authorities race to try and vaccinate as much of the population as possible against the virus that causes COVID-19 in 2021.
