Set up a data benchmarks, so clinic managers or providers are able to aggregate immunization data, red flag missed opportunities, and facilitate modifying vaccine promotion plans. Other components: 1. missed opportunities and doubts/hesitancy about immunization as a whole; 2. specific questions with regard to specific vaccines; 3. health conditions and socioeconomic/demographic vulnerabilities (insufficient resources in health literacy, linguistic or cultural considerations); and 4. challenges in patient-clinician interactions. These components will be addressed through team training/meetings, pamphlets, physician-led speech in online videos, and group messages via MyChart on the clinic level.
