A COVID-19 VACCINE CAMPAIGN FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES
FIND A COVID-19 VACCINE NEAR YOU
Being part of a high-risk population for COVID-19 infection does not mean that you are powerless to protect yourself from becoming infected. By choosing to get vaccinated, you are choosing to protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your community from COVID-19.
Committed and invested community members like you are needed to act as trusted ambassadors.

A CALL TO ACTION:
Because the COVID-19 pandemic has most severely impacted Black communities throughout New York State and across the nation, it is in these communities where information and outreach must be concentrated and shared with urgency. Committed and invested community members like you are needed to act as trusted ambassadors.
IN THIS CRITICAL MOMENT WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
• Learn more about COVID-19 prevention methods and why it is important to educate your community about the vaccine.
• Talk to your community about COVID-19 prevention.
• Mobilize your community to get active in sharing verified information with others in the neighborhood.
TAKE THE PLEDGE
“I pledge to proactively educate myself and my community about all of the resources and information available to address the COVID-19 pandemic. I will work to assure full access to healthcare options, especially in Black communities in New York State where they have not been within reach.”
SPREAD THE WORD
Download, print, and share these ready-made palm cards and posters to foster conversation about the benefits of the vaccine and how to protect yourself and your community from COVID-19. All materials are free for download. They may be printed on a standard office printer, or if you are looking to use a commercial printer, please contact Yrichard@fpwa.org.
Share this social media toolkit created by New York City to amplify your support for and
commitment to vaccine equity.
