Sponsor's own description

In Ontario, approximately 6,000 family physicians can access a secure online system that provides a report that lists the COVID-19 vaccination status for each patient in their roster.

This implementation trial tests a practice facilitation intervention that aims to support family physicians to access their vaccination reports and effectively communicate with their unvaccinated patients. The facilitator will help develop action plans and offer a range of options, including co-hosted online town-halls, support for medical office assistants to coordinate patient outreach, and/or connection to trained, volunteer medical students that can help with patient outreach.
