“Building vaccine confidence is critical to increasing vaccinations, which remains so important as we encourage boosters and kids’ vaccinations,” Xavier Becerra, HHS secretary, said in a Feb. 8 news release. “This funding will help even more community-based organizations build confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine among people in their community who may not have been vaccinated yet.”

The program has supported numerous initiatives to expand COVID-19 vaccinations, including mobile vaccination clinics, partnerships with Black churches to build vaccine confidence, and the implementation of culturally and linguistically appropriate outreach campaigns.
