HARTFORD KICKS OFF NEW WINTER SEASON VACCINATION CAMPAIGN

Published on December 20, 2022

HARTFORD, CONN (December 20, 2022) – Today, the Hartford Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is kicking off a new campaign to get people vaccinated. The “Get Vaxxed!/¡Vacúnate Hoy!” vaccination campaign will appear on billboards, social media, and the www.getvaxxed.info website in the coming week. The campaign was launched in preparation for the anticipated surge in infections this winter/holiday season.

The campaign offers information about COVID-19 and the importance of vaccines in keeping people protected against infectious disease. The site will also offer resources on where to get vaccinated, including the many vaccination clinics offered by the department throughout the city during the month.

“With rising infection rates for COVID, the flu, and RSV, it’s as important as ever to stay up to date on your vaccines and to get the latest information in protecting from these infectious diseases,” said Mayor Bronin.  “Our Health and Human Services team is working hard to make these vaccines as accessible as possible for our residents, so be on the lookout for a vaccine clinic in your neighborhood this winter.  We encourage everyone to get vaccinated to keep yourself and your family healthy and safe this winter season.”

“The campaign’s vaccination messages will inform Hartford residents about COVID, the flu, and the importance of getting vaccinated/boosted. This campaign will strengthen DHHS efforts to keep the Hartford community healthy by promoting vaccination against what remains life-threatening viruses like COVID, and the resurgence of childhood diseases like polio due to vaccine hesitancy due to misinformation,” said Delita Rose-Daniels, Public Health Program Manager.

The Hartford Department of Health and Human Services is committed to providing health programs, education, and opportunities to Hartford’s residents, particularly those affected by socioeconomic barriers, those living with a disability, from diverse cultural backgrounds, and residents most impacted by COVID-19.
