Recommendations

Recommendations	Illustrative quote
Diversify communications	There should be public announcements on the radio because people aren’t seeing some at television anymore because of their cable.
Use of trustworthy figures in messages	You have the vice president…you have the president, you have some stars like Dolly Parton...but I feel if there was a community platform of folks just like me, who are not celebrities or politicians…a way to express their positive experience and how it makes them feel psychologically… just from regular folks in the community, I’m thinking maybe more people might feel safer.
Increasing accessibility	I know West Virginia has 1 website where they do all of their signing up through…It should be like Zocdoc for all of the available locations in your whole state.
Use of existing networks	If we had some kind of registration system in place, so then you think, well, what registration systems do we have in place? We have DMV, we have voter registration. How can we take that information and use it to the advantage of getting people the support they need?
Immobilization of grassroots efforts	I think they need to go door to door and set up places in neighborhoods and inform people about the vaccine. Sign them up door to door, and not make hoops to jump through for people who are hesitant in the first place and are definitely not going to do it if it’s inconvenient.
Requiring groups to get vaccinated	They should make everybody take it. That’s the government and the mayor should make everybody take it, period. The health care workers at nursing homes who won’t get the vaccine…if they don’t get the vaccine, they should be fired.
