@DoctorYasmin concludes her wonderful, innovative keynote address by noting 2 things she would like to see change moving forward:

There is a lot of talk about #COVID19 vaccines, however we don't much about existing vaccines (eg flu) in our patients! Much more work to be done here in rheumatology! @DrDavidKarp at #ACR21 opening session @rheumnow

@DoctorYasmin: "Let's talk about the history ... let's build bridges." We individualize approach to treatments, we should also individualize our conversation about vaccine hesitancy to your patient's specific concerns. @rheumnow #ACR21 https://t.co/1Jxw8l2phB

@DoctorYasmin @RheumNow Great discussion #ACR21 @DoctorYasmin: how do we stop panic/misinformation during a pandemic?
To improve health literacy, we need to learn how to engage better:
- understand the issues/public thinking
- targeted messaging to different communities
- avoid medical hubris

@DrDavidKarp: "We are learning about #COVID19 vaccine, but we don't know what to do about the other vaccines." Its a great opportunity for us to learn, research, and educate about the flu, shingles, pneumonia, and more vaccines. 💉 @RheumNow #ACR21

"I am often asked when are we going back to normal? NO! I don't want to go back to Normal....we need systems that are more resilient" @DoctorYasmin on lessons learned from #COVID to prepare for future challenges/outbreaks #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/DAdCH80uQ5

@DoctorYasmin notes that anti-vaccination is not a new phenomenon & that we cannot adopt a "one size fits all" method in tackling vaccine hesitancy. She emphasizes the need for targeted messaging & the ideology that vaccination is anti-American must be debunked! #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/cU33XEOYhM

"If we go back to business as usual, we will have failed." @DoctorYasmin in the #ACR21 Opening Session.
We need systems that don't need a crisis to shine on them to progressively change for the better. @RheumNow https://t.co/uf4OO2VpHV
