Move People From Unsure to Vaccinated!

During the latest CVC meeting we discussed how we can addres hesitancy and myth busting around the COVID-19 vaccine. Watch the meeting recording. Here's what you can do now! 

 

Talk to 5-10 people YOU know ... either people who have NOT yet been vaccinated or people who are INFLUENCERS in other people’s lives. Make personal calls and emails and have 1:1 conversations.

 

Need ideas on who to talk to? Try:

  • Your health care provider
  • Kids—talking to other kids, parents or grandparents
  • Your faith leader
  • Teachers and principals and counselors
  • Camp counselors
  • Barbers and hair stylists
  • Fitness instructors and coaches
  • Your favorite bartenders
  • Anyone else you KNOW who KNOWS people
 The wait is over for the COVID-19 vaccine

Get the Facts!

A key part of encouraging people to get vaccinated is to dispell the myths they may have heard--and answers questions they have. 

 

The CDC's Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines has responses to common myths about the vaccine and information you can use in your conversations and communications.

Don't Forget ...
