Gunnison Valley Health began vaccinating employees on December 16, 2020. By May 18, 2021, 82% had received at least one dose of vaccine. 

Upon analysis of the data, GVH identified that vaccination uptake demonstrated variance between some of the main GVH sites. The vaccination rates across facilities within the GVH system from April and May 2021 are displayed in Figure 2 and showed variation of an almost 20% absolute difference in uptake between the long-term care and senior center facilities versus the main hospital. 

Summary:

In response, targeted vaccination clinics were established at the long-term care facility to make vaccination as convenient as possible.  Simultaneous with this effort at convenience was a further effort at conversation with hesitant employees as described in the section CONVSERSATION.
