Nurses play an important role in helping patients understand the benefits and value of vaccines. Vaccine safety is something that all patients and their loved ones should understand in order to feel comfortable with receiving the necessary doses. By talking to patients and addressing their questions and concerns, nurses can help increase awareness of the need for and value of vaccines. The best thing that nurses can do is ask patients and their loved ones if they have any questions before administering the necessary vaccine. This includes recommended childhood vaccines, flu vaccines, and many others. Nurses should be equipped with the knowledge to inform patients and build confidence in the continued use of vaccines.
