As the COVID-19 vaccination campaign continues, it is critical that vaccines are delivered fairly and equitably—so that everyone has access.
Join the CommuniVax Rapid Research Coalition and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security for a webinar that will consider the impact of research and outreach in 4 local areas, which together represent a mix of Black and Hispanic/Latino communities in rural to urban areas. Local leaders and public health officials will hear about these communities and what they have done—and are doing—to address the challenges they are facing related to COVID-19 vaccination and equity.
Panelists will also discuss what is needed in their communities to implement the CommuniVax recommendations relating to rebuilding and strengthening the public health infrastructure and community health.
