USCIB Foundation Launches Campaign to Promote Vaccine Literacy, Workplace Wellbeing

NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the USCIB Foundation launched the 'There's More To Be Done' Campaign, an initiative that seeks to maintain workplace wellbeing. Employers can encourage vaccination for COVID19 and other preventable illness by informing and educating employees on the benefit of vaccination. 'There's More To Be Done' is a global movement of employers and is part of the Business Partners to CONVINCE initiative, which seeks to empower a "vaccine-literate" public.

The Campaign includes free Learning Modules for employers that incorporates training videos, action steps, learning objectives and resources.

The Campaign is simple, actionable, and vital for a safer workplace. The Campaign:

• Focuses on the important role of employers
• Recognizes the hard work by employers to date
• Identifies the role of vaccines in creating a safer workplace and employee well-being.

Scott Ratzan MD, BP2C executive director, stated: "In collaboration with our partners, we created this Campaign and designed these Learning Modules to provide businesses of all sizes around the globe with free resources for developing and supporting employee vaccination. Companies of all sizes from 16 countries, representing over 250,000 employees, have joined. Employers play a critical role in the health and wellness of employees. Having a plan to inform and educate employees on the benefit of vaccination is the key to success."

"Employers, even small to midsize employers, have a role to play given their privileged access, position of trust, and ability to address potential barriers to vaccine uptake practically," said USCIB President and CEO Peter Robinson.
