Make every contact count by opportunistically asking about vaccine intent

  • Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is an all-Wales approach to behaviour change, utilising day-to-day interactions, to support people to make positive changes that improve their physical and mental health and well-being.  
  • Consider encouraging practice staff to acquire MECC skills. For MECC e-learning (to level 1), see here  [ESR or other login/ registration required]. For MECC training contacts by health board, see here [intranet].  
  • Brief intervention by staff in regular contact with people who could use some support to make informed choices is promoted by NICE guidance (PH49).  
  • A brief MECC conversation with a parent or care giver can support an informed choice about childhood vaccinations.
