Partnering With National Organizations to Increase Vaccination Coverage Across Different Racial and Ethnic Adult Populations

The CDC Foundation will “support efforts to increase access and acceptance of influenza and Covid-19 vaccines among adults in racial and/or ethnic populations experiencing disparities in the United States. By building the capacity and resiliency of CBOS through partnerships and resource sharing, the CDC Foundation will expand the implementation of evidence-based interventions to address vaccine misinformation, expand vaccine opportunities and increase vaccine coverage.”

“Expected project outcome is to strengthen authentic, community dialogue through CBO engagement activities that address vaccine misinformation and support individuals in openly weighing available options, risks, and benefits at both a personal and a community level, along with how their lived experience factors into these decisions. “

Commentary:
This massive grant from the CDC to its own foundation is an ongoing effort to increase Covid and flu vaccine uptake, targeting minority communities in particular. While not entirely for misinformation work, countering misinformation is a key component.
