The Rockefeller Foundation Grant Helps Ensure Greater Access to Vaccines for BIPOC Communities and Build Long-Standing Change
As the country continues to grapple with the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on the health and economic well-being of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), Families USA is launching a strategic initiative to help states and communities equitably distribute Covid-19 vaccinations. This effort – made possible with financial support from The Rockefeller Foundation and in partnership with Health Equity Solutions and Manatt Health – will help achieve the Equity-First Vaccination Initiative’s national equity goal of vaccinating at least 70 million people of color by July 2021. The project also aims to inform equitable responses to provide immunization boosters and other key health equity concerns.
