We support the Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 education campaign, We Can Do This, to increase education and awareness about COVID-19 vaccines.

Whether due to language barriers or lack of access to healthcare, many Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders face unique challenges to getting accurate vaccine information. We hope that amplifying these resources, especially in other languages, will help reach and protect our most vulnerable communities.

Hint: Space Jam is still the best.
