  Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to explain the rationale for updated guidance on booster doses, respond to gaps in information identified in the Content Gaps and Information Voids sections of each theme in this report, and confront misinformation with evidence-based messaging. The goal of these efforts is to increase consumer confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. Messages about community-level risk and the need to follow COVID-19 mitigation measures should be disseminated when needed. Primary care physicians, public health experts, and community leaders should be encouraged to explain why the 2nd booster dose is necessary and its role in preventing severe illness from COVID-19. Trusted messengers should disseminate tailored messages related to the themes presented in this report.
