Share Vaccine Resources With Your Communities
 Now that COVID-19 vaccines are here, it is important to keep sharing trusted information with our friends, families, and communities. On CEAL’s Learning About Vaccines page, you can find infographics, videos, and social media posts to share, including:
Community engagement builds needed trust in science and scientists
Read the latest research feature from the NHLBI about the COVID-19 response and the importance of building trusted relationships, fostering inclusion, and looking to the future of participation in research. The article highlights Venus Ginés, president and founder of Día de la Mujer Latina® Inc, a nonprofit that is part of the CEAL research team in Texas.
“Having a strategic plan to conduct a culturally tailored community engagement program that addresses issues of historical disadvantage, low health literacy, and mistrust is really important,” she says. “It allows us to build the type of framework for all research studies moving forward, not just for COVID-19.”

This includes coordinated communication and consistent messaging, trust building through partnerships, consideration of differing health literacy levels, and prioritization of equity in all aspects of communication. Also, check out the Communicator’s Tip Sheet for COVID-19 Vaccination.
