Where to Find What You Need to Know About COVID-19 Vaccines

Vaccines are a powerful tool in helping us stop the COVID-19 pandemic, helping populations build immunity against moderate or severe illness caused by COVID-19. They are an integral part of the nation’s road to recovery from the events of the past year, as marked by President Biden’s pledge for 150 million COVID-19 vaccinations (i.e., at least one shot per person) in his first 100 days in office.

The sheer number and variety of resources on the topic can be overwhelming for individuals and community organizations who are ready to steward communities through this phase of recovery from the pandemic. Recognizing these challenges, Healthcare Ready has stood up COVID-19 Vaccines: Resources for the Community page, a one-stop shop for credible resources for everyday community members. This page will be updated regularly to ensure up-to-date information on COVID-19 vaccines is available to communities who need it most.
