ORLANDO, Fla - Florida A&M University (FAMU) is partnering with the Florida Department of Health to spread the COVID-19 vaccination message to underserved communities.
Digital billboards along I-4 are spreading the message for people to get vaccinated for protection against COVID-19. The billboards come at a time when Orlando is considered by the Centers for Disease and Prevention to have a high COVID-19 community level.
“Digital messaging is so important in our statewide outreach,” said Dr. Cynthia M. Harris, FAMU associate dean of Public Health. “Through the fiscal support of the Florida Department of Health, our community engagement activities and the hard work of our FAMU College of Law, we are able to effectively spread the importance of the COVID-19 vaccination – particularly in underserved communities.”
The billboards are in English and Spanish and encourage people to protect themselves by getting vaccinated.
The Florida Department of Health in Orange County visited FAMU Law’s campus twice to provide COVID-19 vaccinations.
FAMU Law also participated in Orange County’s “Communiversity” vaccine events.
Partners included: Jacqueline Bradley and Clarence Otis Family Branch Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida, University of Central Florida, Valencia College Downtown Campus, City of Orlando, Florida Department of Health in Orange County, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Florida Technical College, United Foundation of Central Florida and the Black Nurses Association.
