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.
