Patient engagement at the time of COVID-19: why is it important?

According to experts, there is a real chance that a COVID-19 vaccine will be ready in early 2021. As a result, we may be on the eve of the largest patient engagement campaign ever.

This is problematic, because vaccination only works if a large part of the population is vaccinated. Although resistance to vaccination is timeless, the future COVID-19 vaccine is under extra magnification.

Reach HCPs with LinkedIn’s business targeting options

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are an important target group for many companies in Life Sciences & Health. A research by Veeva shows that 70% of HCPs are digital natives and collect information online. For example, they use LinkedIn to profile themselves, network and to take subject-specific information.
