Practice Facilitation to Support Primary Care Physicians With COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Recommendations by family physicians are associated with uptake of vaccines, but many family physicians had limited capacity to identify patients in their practice who might benefit from personalized vaccination counselling.
