Princeton Health Department will use art as a way to turn residents away from vaccine hesitancy
Work for a new COVID-19 vaccine art campaign designed to encourage vaccinations and inspire hope is already underway in Princeton.
The campaign is being spearheaded by Princeton Health Department Vulnerable Population Outreach Coordinator (VPOC) Gwendolyn Krol. Krol drew inspiration for the campaign from officials in Charlotte, North Carolina’s Mecklenberg County, which had artists create pieces of art through a competition that would display taglines and messages in different languages.
The artwork is being used as a different way to promote not only the importance of COVID-19 vaccinations, but encourage people to register and help against vaccine hesitancy. Krol is looking to replicate something similar and specific to Princeton.
