"As members of the health care workforce, we must recognize the crucial role we play in influencing vaccine uptake. With the death toll over rising in the U.S., the stakes could not be higher as the final death count will hinge on how quickly we can translate the vaccine’s efficacy into real-world effectiveness through optimizing uptake. We should aim to increase vaccine uptake at 'warp speed.' Now is the time to harness the power of social media to combat disinformation.  Now is the time to use creative content to put an end to this pandemic. This is our lane. Will you join us in this fight?"
