The Georgia Academy of Family Physicians is proud to announce that we are the physician group leading the charge to increase flu vaccine rates in Georgia for the 2023-2024 season. Our focus will be on communities of color and overcoming longstanding barriers.

Barriers may result from:

  • Cultural issues/belief systems
  • Socioeconomic conditions
  • Geographic conditions: Rural vs. Urban
  • Racial and or Ethnic Conditions

We are recruiting all clinicians who are connected to communities of color (whether you are a vaccination site or not) to join our efforts to connect with our patients on their path to one of the standards of primary care – the annual flu shot.

πŸ’‰ Breaking Barriers is HARD…….

πŸ’‰ Practice humility

πŸ’‰ Stay open to learning.

πŸ’‰ Question discomfort and lean into it.

Questions?  Please contact Georgia Academy of Family Physicians Executive Vice President Fay Fulton.
