Webinar TODAY at 2
pm ET: Accelerating Vaccination of Older Adults
Tuesday, June 1 at 2 pm ET
Register for the webinar.
In this virtual roundtable to close Older Americans Month, leaders from the
aging services network will talk about the difference vaccination is making
in the lives of the older adults they serve. Join to hear about some of the
creative approaches they have developed for helping older adults get
vaccinated, particularly their efforts to connect with people of color and
others who may not have not been as effectively reached through mainstream
vaccination efforts.
During Older Americans Month, we celebrate the vital
contributions of older adults, who have built resilience and strength over
their lives through successes, failures, joys, and difficulties. This
year’s theme is “Communities of Strength,” which recognizes that our
communities are strongest when older adults are able to fully participate
in them, sharing their knowledge, experience, and talents. It also honors
the strength older adults have demonstrated throughout the pandemic, as
they have persevered through the disproportionate challenges they have
faced. Finally, it reflects our appreciation for the important role older
adults have played in helping our nation weather this public health crisis.
Because it is the key to recovery from the pandemic and to making it
possible for older adults to safely resume their traditional roles in
families and communities, vaccination is fundamental to building and
supporting “Communities of Strength.”
