@analizumab @pharmacists Q12. Important to encourage parents to get their kids COVID vaccinated too. Way too many kids in ICUs suffering from COVID (unnecessarily). #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q10. I tell people that the updated vaccine goes through the same pipes, the same recipe, the same production methods and QC checks as the original vaccine. So all the safety data carries over to the 2023 vaccine. #VaccineConfident

@pharmacists Q8. To me, the most logical analogy seems to be updating your smart phone or computer software. Does that resonate with people near you? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q7. The fact that so many people have had COVID already is part of the reason they only need one vaccine dose. But that prior infection is like a leaky raincoat. Virus can get through and infect. But the vaccination shield is much stronger and thicker. #VaccineConfident

@pharmacists Hi, John Grabenstein from Maryland's eastern shore! #VaccineConfident

@pharmacists Hi, John G from Maryland's eastern shore (the Land of Pleasant Living)!

@pharmacists Q11. Oh, remember, as you do publicity stuff with flu shots (and COVID and all the others), make sure the photographer gets smiling faces. If anybody's frowning or grimacing, shot it again. :-) #VaccineConfident

@pharmacists Q11. Check it out if you haven't looked lately. There's a kids' coloring book (black and white for them to color) that has a vaccine theme. It's under Patient Resources. Vaccines should be fun! #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q10. If you don't offer, they never have the chance to say yes or no. Then work on morphing the 'no's into 'not yet's. #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@analizumab @pharmacists Q7. Always positive. Always showing you're looking out for their best interests! NICE! #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@analizumab @pharmacists Q7. If they reply "I've never gotten any" what do you say next? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q6. I'm a little worried that a sliver of the population is going to think X-files when they see XBB. But there's no pleasing everybody. #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q5: Yeah, it's important to remind them that vaccination has VALUE. Not just checking a box. #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

Q3. What % of your patients are EAGER (waiting) to get the updated vaccine? A few, a lot? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

Q1. And John Grabenstein from Maryland's Eastern Shore! Welcome, folks! #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@analizumab @pharmacists Q11. Do you mean enough money to pay for the research? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@pharmacists Q13. Any particular pages, Matt? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@RafaPharmD @pharmacists Q11. How old was the child? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@MRothholz @pharmacists Q10. I don't understand the private payers comment. What do you mean? #VaccineConfident

[John Grabenstein @vaxin8m]

@levonorjazztrel @pharmacists Q9. Grandmothers, abuelas, babushkas, it works in all cultures! #VaccineConfident
