Pursuit of the 3Cs: Confident, Concise and Consistent Health Care Provider Recommendations for Adolescent Vaccinations

The 3Cs videos provide learners with guidance on how to make a clear, consistent and concise presumptive recommendation for all ACIP recommended vaccines for adolescents. The videos take learners through a series of vignettes which portray increasing resistance from parents about whether or not their child should receive the vaccines. The videos demonstrate and provide strategies that learners can implement in their practice when faced with acceptors, cautious acceptors, and hesitant parents. The videos will also be accompanied by a 3Cs Provider Toolkit which will include an FAQ document to help providers answer the questions most commonly asked by parents about adolescent vaccines, a motivational interviewing (MI) tip sheet, and background information about the vaccines and the diseases they help prevent.
