Kia ora from Jess and Jordan
Between us we have had some tricky personal conversations about vaccination lately with people we care about. As we have experienced, hard conversations need preparation, and some scripts even. There are a lot of thoughts and ideas out there about how to talk to friends and whānau (too many perhaps!). As the two of us have been deep in this vaccination research for some time, we thought we could help with some practical tips.
In the new guide you will find:
key principles
a handy flow chart with three pathways to follow depending on where people sit on the vaccination continuum
pathway 1. tautoko (already vaccinated)
pathway 2. kōrerorero (not there yet)
pathway 3. awhi (the firmly opposed).
some tips and scripts to try when tricky questions come up
we also have some ideas on how to manage conversations about meeting up with people who are not vaccinated.
All of it is based on research.
We all want for our whānau and friends to be well. Connecting and hearing their concerns is a fundamental part of supporting the people we love over the vaccination line, particularly as these conversations become increasingly difficult to navigate. We hope this guide helps
