Vaccine Reluctance Among Older Adults with a History of Trauma: Diverse Concerns, Trauma-Informed Strategies, and Lessons for the Future

The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) Center on Aging and Trauma, a project of the Holocaust Survivor Initiative, invites you to participate in this webinar to learn how a history of trauma can impact older adults as they age. Past trauma may contribute to vaccine hesitancy among diverse populations of older adults. Learn strategies for ensuring that older adults have the information and person-centered, trauma-informed (PCTI) support they need to make informed decisions about their health.
