RHC Community,
There are many toolkits and other resources available in your efforts to increase vaccine confidence and support vaccine roll-out within your communities, and these are especially helpful as many of you will be receiving the RHC Vaccine Confidence Grant later this month. I wanted to share a resource that I believe will be of good use to you in effectively understanding and combatting hesitancy within your unique communities.
The National Resource Center for Refugees, Immigrants, and Migrants (NRC-RIM) through the University of Minnesota has created a variety of quality, customizable, and free resources beneficial for all communities and their unique vaccination strategies. Some special features of the available resources are highlighted below and I encourage you to check them out!
Vaccine Central: Includes promising practices from around the country that you can easily replicate.
Get Vaccinated: Campaign based on feedback that indicates people from many different backgrounds connect with the theme of protecting their communities; includes posters and social media templates.
Get the Facts: Campaign that shares facts about COVID-19 vaccines in a simple and memorable way that counters common misconceptions. The campaign includes a social media series, fact sheets, and even audio and video PSAs for people who don’t read in the language that they speak or who rely on more oral tradition.
Vaccination Is: Campaign created using a community-led, hyperlocal communications strategy that was developed by and for members of narrowly defined local communities. Honors community priorities, values, and the expertise of community leaders.
Makespace: Tool and easy-to-use guide to make your own customized vaccine campaign in partnership with your community.
Additional, frequently updated resources are available at NARHC.org.
