New Campaign from THE CONVERSATION / LA CONVERSACIÓN Responds to Information Needs about COVID-19 Vaccines Among Latinos and Spanish-speaking People in U.S.

“THE CONVERSATION / LA CONVERSACIÓN campaign—and our efforts with the UnidosUS Esperanza Hope for All campaign—use trusted voices to send the message that the vaccines are our best chance at getting back to our lives. But we need more support to make sure everyone can get a vaccine as a new report from our friends at KFF shows.  Unvaccinated Latinos want to get the vaccine but face obstacles such as not having access to paid leave, being asked by vaccine providers for sensitive information that increases barriers to getting more Americans vaccinated, or hard to access vaccination sites.  We need to reaffirm that COVID-19 vaccines are free and available to ALL, regardless of immigration status or access to health insurance and we also urge that sites are put in places where Latinos are: schools, workplaces, and community centers across the country,” said UnidosUS President and CEO Janet Murguía.
