Altogether Now: A Packet of New Resources to Support COVID-19 Vaccine Provision for Agricultural Workers and other Immigrant and Migrant Essential Workers
Migrant Clinicians Network has been hard at work for many months developing resources to assist community health centers, public health departments, community-based organizations, and other places providing health care, health information, and health justice advocacy. Access to COVID-19 vaccines continues to be a serious concern among certain hard-to-reach populations including rural agricultural workers, even as vaccine appointments become more available in many parts of the country. Here, we present a packet of MCN resources, developed with support from the Health Resources and Services Administration, followed by additional recent resources offered by MCN.
#YoMeLaPuse
Show your support of the vaccine in your community! MCN’s #YoMeLaPuse campaign offers five beautifully designed posters showing people of various ages after their vaccination that are available for download and printing. A sixth poster is customizable, allowing communities to paste in a photo of a local religious leader, or community health care providers, or other community leader who is proud to have gotten the vaccine. The posters are accompanied by a short video in Spanish, which can be played at community events and in waiting rooms.
