Turning Vaccination into a Pathway to Independence

Opportunity

In the wake of COVID-19, vaccine fatigue and skepticism were rising, especially among older adults and people with disabilities. While access had improved, motivation had stalled. USAging needed a way to reconnect vaccination with something more personal, more empowering, and more meaningful. Audiences were tired of being told what to do, but still deeply valued their independence. Yes& saw an opportunity to move beyond information, and reframe the meaning of vaccination itself.

Insight:

People don’t act to avoid risk, they act to preserve independence.
