COVID vaccines are promising, but vaccine hesitancy challenges healthcare providers.  The percentage of vaccinated Americans has grown, while the percentage of those who have been undecided has fallen.  However, the number of people who oppose vaccination has remained steady.  Because healthcare providers encounter all sorts of vaccine mindsets, they need knowledge and skills to personalize their approach for discussing a sensitive issue.
