This month we focus on COVID-19 vaccination efforts and rates in the Black community. We encourage you to learn more by reviewing the following resources.
- The Harris County/City of Houston COVID-19 Data Hub reports up-to-date information about COVID-19 vaccination rates in our community. The proportion of vaccines administered by race/ethnicity can be found on their dashboard.
- Review the facts to combat misinformation about vaccination. Check out a video of our own Dr. Peter Hotez discussing the vaccine and misinformation with a local news station
- Learn more and get inspired by actions to promote COVID-related safety and vaccination in the Black community:
- U.S. Black Chambers Inc. participate in offering 10K free rides to vaccine appointments
- NAACP launches COVID-19 information initiative supporting Black Americans
- Black Houston leaders encouraging community to get vaccinated by showing themselves be vaccinated
- Understand the FDA approval process and what it means that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now fully approved
