In honor of Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 8th, the We The People Vax team wants to share two announcements.
First, WeThePeopleVax has launched a website - here: https://wethepeoplevax.org/ that hosts all current and past campaigns. The website makes it easy to tie in vaccine promotion messages with upcoming national holidays or observances.
Second, the WeThePeopleVax website is where you can access the Mother’s Day campaign with images. videos and messages to share now or schedule as appropriate.
The campaign design makes it easy to participate, and we encourage you to add your own personal or local story to make the messages and images more impactful for your community. Use #WeThePeopleVax #MothersDay #IVax2Protect #VaccinesWork and other relevant hashtags to help get your messages seen!

The California Immunization Coalition works throughout the year to bring together partners and colleagues from all over California to share ideas and discuss ways to improve immunization rates and how we communicate about vaccines and public health.
The 2022 Virtual Conference on June 8th - Boosting Community Trust in Vaccines, will be a setting to discuss:
- Where we are at with overall immunization rates across the lifespan,
- How we can address new gaps in vaccination coverage,
- Identify immunization programs and projects that were strengthened or stretched as a result of COVID-pandemic,
- How to reframe the messages in support of public health and build confidence in public health interventions.
This meeting will help lay the foundation for our future in person meetings and we hope you can join us to hear the presentations and provide feedback and ideas.

Communicating About Vaccines – COVID-19 & More |
|
Brought to you by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)
Vaccine Education Center
This new learning module was developed by the Vaccine Education Center and the Office of Community Engagement at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), in partnership with the Pennsylvania Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (PA-AAP), Pennsylvania Immunization Coalition (PAIC), and Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH).
This free web-based, interactive session offers a two-hour training divided into three parts:
Part 1: Details the dangers of COVID-19 disease, explains the US system to authorize and approve vaccines and highlights the safety & effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.
Part 2: Explores vaccine communication best practices.
Part 3: Reviews the module, offers additional resources, and explains how to receive continuing education credit or a certificate of attendance for training requirements. Continuing education credits are available for physicians, nurses, and pharmacists.
This module was developed for adult and pediatric providers, immunization champions, and community members. The module provides better understanding of the facts around COVID-19 disease, how the vaccine approval process works and how to communicate effectively about these topics, so that stakeholders — and their constituents — have a solid, or reinforced, urgency regarding what the receipt of vaccines can do to protect people from COVID-19.
