NJ's CCC mission and outreach approach
NJ CCC's mission is to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in underserved communities across New Jersey.
NJ's CCC has a three-prong outreach approach:
- Education: Train trusted community members on COVID-19 disease burden (i.e., infection, hospitalization, and mortality), vaccine updates, and pathways to vaccine registration.
- Navigation: Assist vulnerable populations (e.g., minority groups, underserved communities, limited English proficiency populations, and individuals with limited technology and/or low proficiency) with the vaccination process.
- Activation: Reduce vaccine hesitancy among immigrant and minority populations through meaningful community partnerships and strategic virtual and physical outreach.
