Social Media Toolkit
Experts are predicting another wave of COVID infections as the weather turns colder and people spend more time indoors. Protect your friends, loved ones, and members of your community by encouraging them to get an updated COVID vaccine during the Vaccination Weeks of Action. Updated vaccines protect against both the original COVID virus and the current Omicron strains.
Consider using #VaxUpAmerica (and #WeCanDoThis) to encourage everyone ages 5+ to get an updated COVID vaccine. Below are sample posts and graphics to share across your social media channels. You can add your own photos and videos. Feel free to tag other accounts to spread the word and keep yourself and loved ones safe this fall and winter.
