The second video talks about the community outreach that is going on currently to reach underserved communities in the Greater Seattle area.

Each video is about 30 minutes in length.

Vaccine Myth Busting

We know many people have questions about the vaccine – is it safe, is it right for them, how can I talk to my family about getting the vaccine. In this video, 3 healthcare professionals talk about common questions and myths about the vaccine, advocating for yourself and family around the vaccine, and talking to friends and family. You can find more information about COVID-19, benefit coverage, and vaccine information on Premera’s website.

Vaccine Community Outreach and Advocacy

What’s going on in the community and how are insurers, community advocates and medical professionals working to get the vaccine into the arms of people with less access. In this video, we talk about some of the outreach methods currently underway, and what’s being done to engage communities and encourage vaccinations.
