Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project is a 2-year study to investigate vaccine hesitancy and vaccine completion among vulnerable communities in the Southeastern Louisiana region. This study will be used to track COVID-19 vaccine completion among patients who seek testing, either as in-person or purchasing at home COVID testing, from pharmacies, urgent cares and clinics using a rapid vaccine education model delivered at the point of care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project is a 2-year study to investigate vaccine hesitancy and vaccine completion among vulnerable communities in the Southeastern Louisiana region. This study will be used to track COVID-19 vaccine completion among patients who seek testing, either as in-person or purchasing at home COVID testing, from pharmacies, urgent cares and clinics. The proposal will introduce a rapid vaccination education model to be delivered at the point of COVID-19 testing by pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, nurse's aides and other health care personnel and includes monitoring for COVID-19 vaccine completion among enrolled patients. Investigators anticipate an increase in COVID-19 vaccine completion rates for those who participate in the rapid vaccination education model.
