CommuniVax Webinar - Carrying Equity in COVID-19 Vaccination Forward: Guidance Informed by Communities of Color
2021-07-15 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Latino Cancer Institute invites you to join us with our colleagues at Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security and fellow members of the CommuniVax team for this eye opening webinar, Thursday, 7/15 9am PST/12pm EST

It digs deep into the social and civic fabric of marginalized communities from Alabama to Idaho to California and Maryland…spotlighting why success for vaccine uptake … requires more than a shot in the arm.

It takes a village and a complete reimagining of how the pueblo must invest in and utilize all its resources to serve all its community.

This webinar will illuminate what taking the extra steps to care for the most fragile looks like!

The second CommuniVax report on these findings will be issued shortly and you can find it on our social media accounts when it is published.
