(Monday, November 14, 2022, Washington, DC) – As we enter another winter season, it’s critical we protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities from new surges of COVID-19 infections. The virus that causes COVID-19 changes over time, but you can keep protection up to date by getting a bivalent (or “updated”) COVID-19 booster shot today. As we all prepare for colder weather and family time indoors, this updated booster shot is critical.
Pandemic fatigue and vaccine hesitancy persists in America’s communities, along with confusion and misinformation about the updated boosters. Trusted medical providers are available to provide the facts. The COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project, a group of over 240 leading organizations representing patient, provider, employer and public health organizations, seeks to provide individuals and organizations with information to address questions and build confidence in COVID-19 vaccines, and to motivate and inspire people to get vaccinated and fight the pandemic.
