VaccineSafe aims to create a community-based initiative to increase COVID-19 vaccination confidence in Prince George’s County. The VaccineSafe mission is to build trust in the shot and address broader health literacy concerns surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine. They connect Prince George’s County residents with physicians to open dialogue about the vaccine and provide vaccine doses. This initiative is based on repeated findings in published literature that a strong provider recommendation and direct access to shots is an incredibly effective way to change people’s minds. Since its inception, VaccineSafe has been moving forward at a steady pace and is working with the Prince George’s County Health Department to recruit physicians and immediately provide vaccine shots to community stakeholders.
