Health Centers Invited to Participate in #VaxUpAmerica Efforts

HHS is working with national and community-based organizations to reach families where they are with information on COVID-19 vaccines. HHS will host pop-up vaccination events and distribute toolkits at venues such as Head Start provider locations, nursing homes, and health centers around the country.

If you’d like to partner with HHS to host a new or already planned #VaxUpAmerica Family Vaccine Day event in your community, let us know by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, November 18. HHS’s involvement might bring a local or national HHS official to support and promote the event. Contact us at [email protected] with details about your event, including:

• Health center name and address.
• Event point of contact name, phone number, and email.
• Brief description of the event and location.

If HHS is available to partner with you, someone from the Department will reach out.

The #VaxUpAmerica Family Vaccine Tour is a nationwide push to encourage families to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine for maximum protection going into the winter and holiday season. It followed President Joe Biden’s announcement of Additional Efforts to Help Americans Get Their Free, Updated COVID-19 Vaccine This Fall.

If you missed it, ACF, CMS, and HHS hosted a kickoff event featuring HHS principals and special presentations from trusted messengers on the updated COVID-19 vaccinations and department-wide efforts. You can watch and share the recording. HHS also provides resources that can support your efforts to get your community vaccinated against COVID-19.
