You can download, print, and share the materials in this toolkit however you like.
This toolkit contains resources for organizations and people that want to help increase confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among people with disabilities. It includes information from CDC and new, culturally tailored materials from the HHS COVID-19 public education campaign and its team of multicultural experts.
