The campaign builds on the organization&#8217;s national advocacy and public health response to the pandemic in 2020 and will have a core focus on promoting vaccine equity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Latinos are more likely to require hospitalization or even worse die from COVID-19 since they face greater exposure to the virus because of their overrepresentation as essential workers. That is why it is imperative that we foster trust in the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines and combat vaccine misinformation and disinformation. To do that, we have to reach out to Latinos where they live and ensure that information is delivered by people they trust in an environment where they&#8217;re comfortable. That is how we will help our community and our country recover,&#8221; said <b>UnidosUS President and CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Janet Murgu\u00eda<\/span>.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>UnidosUS will lean on its Affiliate Network to lead on culturally responsive education and outreach by training local trusted messengers; informing through dual-language communications; providing resources\u00a0for\u00a0local COVID-safe outreach and vaccination events and engaging local provider and community partners. The efforts include helping to expand equitable vaccine access through Affiliate health centers. In this initial stage, UnidosUS is deploying more than <span class=\"xn-money\">$2 million<\/span> in grants to 35 Latino-serving community-based organizations including our network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).<\/p>\n<p>UnidosUS is a national partner on the COVID Collaborative and Ad Council&#8217;s COVID-19 Vaccine Education Initiative, helping to develop and distribute culturally relevant content\u00a0for\u00a0the Latino community. <\/p>\n<p><i>Esperanza\u00a0<\/i>Hope\u00a0for\u00a0All&#8217;s comprehensive vaccine equity efforts are backed by funding from a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC and UnidosUS, and between HHS&#8217;s Office of Minority Health and <span class=\"xn-org\">Morehouse School of Medicine&#8217;s<\/span> National COVID-19 Resiliency Network, The Rockefeller Foundation, Walmart Foundation, and The Pfizer Foundation*.
