The organizations said that for the U.S. to overcome the virus, there must be a push for high vaccination rates among Americans, which requires trust in the inoculation process and a willing public to get vaccinated.

Front-line workers provide an important example to the public to help achieve these results, they wrote.  

“As physicians, nurses, hospital and health system leaders, we remain committed to supporting the rigorous scientific and regulatory process, establishing safe and effective processes for administering vaccines to all who are eligible and choose to get vaccinated, and to making critical information about vaccines available as it is released,” the organizations wrote.
