The Badge Buddy Program was developed by TMF Quality Innovation Network to help long-term care facilities and their vaccine champions promote vaccination among residents and staff. The Badge Buddy is a visual symbol long-term care staff wear on their badge to indicate they are vaccinated. There is also a printable quick-reference resource highlighting best practices for infection prevention including donning, doffing and personal protective equipment (PPE).
