Sample newsletter message
Let’s work together to help Vax Up America. Holiday gatherings and travel are around the corner. Public health 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. If it’s been more than two months since your primary vaccine series or last dose, and you’re 5 years old or older, you are eligible for your updated COVID vaccine.
Updated vaccines protect against both the original COVID virus and Omicron. Vaccines offer you the best protection against the worst outcomes of COVID. Spread the word by sharing this news on your social media channels and in conversation with your friends and family around the holiday season and find your updated vaccine at vaccines.gov. Together, We Can Do This.
Thank you for your partnership to help Vax Up America!
