U.S : #VOCALvaccinated -- ensuring the health & safety of our community.

 

 

 

VOCAL-NY welcomes 2021 with the COVID-19 Vaccine.           VOCAL-NY is committed to keeping our community healthy & safe through the COVID-19 pandemic. That means providing frontline public health services - and fighting for smart public policy - for New Yorkers struggling with drug use, homelessness, chronic illness, and poverty.   That also means ensuring our community receives quick-and-easy access to the COVID-19 vaccine.  Many VOCAL-NY constituents are at heightened risk of contracting COVID-19 - and experiencing serious health complications - due to chronic health conditions and the underserved communities in which they live. We have always fought to increase access to lifesaving medications, primarily to treat HIV and hepatitis C. We remember the tremendous loss of life our community suffered as we fought for access to those medications.  That’s why we are launching #VOCALVaccinated, a public health campaign to encourage and support our community to stay well and get the COVID-19 vaccine! In the coming days you will be hearing from us. And we hope the information below will help you and your community take action to get vaccinated.
