(1/4) Thank you UrbanCURE for letting me join your summit today to discuss how, together, we can best improve & protect our nation’s health.

Vaccines save lives, but they are most effective when the greatest possible number of people receive it.
(2/4) As faith leaders, you serve as trusted voices for your communities & we need your help to champion vaccination clearly, repeatedly, & unequivocally.
(3/4) One reason more black/brown people get sick and die in the U.S. is our lower rate of vaccination.

Addressing health disparities = social justice, & getting vaccinated is one of the quickest & easiest ways to address disparities!

(1/4) Good #SundayMorning! This week’s #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth is focused on staying safe & protecting loved ones from #COVID19 as the weather cools down.
(2/4) As the temp goes ⬇️, we are more likely to spend time indoors again, & we know #COVID19 spreads more easily inside—so it’s even MORE important to #WearAMask 😷 & stay six feet apart from those outside your household.
(3/4) Remember that if you want to socialize, it is safest to do so outside 🌳🏞️, where the risk of #COVID19 is the lowest—so put on a sweater & hat and head outdoors! #CovidStopsWithMe

Thanks @SenAlexander, @PattyMurray, @GOPHELP & @HELPCmteDems for a productive discussion on the importance of vaccines today.

#ICYMI, my message was simple: #VaccinesWork!
My central message today was that equitable vaccination of America’s children and adults against preventable diseases is safe, smart, good for the economy – and critical in our fight against #COVID19.

Watch via @cspan: c-span.org/video/?c490558…
To ensure the benefits of vaccines for all Americans, we MUST acknowledge and address obstacles to vaccination, and in particular, those encountered by racial and ethnic minority communities.
