The Wrap - Fighting pediatric flu vaccine disparities

The Wrap - Fighting pediatric flu vaccine disparities

Author: Michigan Medicine Podcast Network November 2, 2023 Duration: 23:18

One of the priorities at U-M Health is to identify a health disparity within the organization and work to overcome it. Research showed that there is approximately a 14% disparity in getting the flu vaccine between pediatric patients who identify as Black and those who identify as white. So a devoted team set out to address that discrepancy. Check out the latest episode of The Wrap to hear from three members of that team, who discussed the new initiative, why it’s so important and what you can do in your roles to help it succeed.
