ANA launches COVID-19 vaccine info hub for nurses
The American Nurses Association, together with 19 other nursing and health care groups, has launched an educational resource called COVID Vaccine Facts for Nurses to provide COVID-19 vaccine information for nurses. “For nurses to be instrumental in administering COVID-19 vaccines, dispelling myths and getting vaccinated themselves, we must ensure that — no matter where they work — they have scientifically sound and accessible answers to both their own and patients’ questions,” ANA President Ernest Grant said.
Full Story: Nurse online
Visit the COVID Vaccine Facts for Nurses website for relevant, accurate and up-to-date information as well as expert perspectives about the safety, efficacy and importance of COVID-19 vaccines.
