Vaccination is a critical tool for containing the virus and minimizing the adverse impact of COVID-19. WHL recognizes that community-based organizations and trusted messengers are in the best position to promote acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination among marginalized and underserved communities.
This funding award seeks to engage community-based organizations to help remove barriers to and promote acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination for communities that have and do face barriers to accessing medical care and people who have historical mistrust of the medical community and vaccines.
Engage your program in digital literacy initiatives across the state.
