VALUE (Vaccine Acceptance & Access Lives in Unity, Engagement & Education) Baltimore is a public-private partnership of the Baltimore City Health Department, Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center, Morgan State University, Maryland Institute College of Art’s Center for Social Design, and Jhpiego, among others. VALUE works with respected members of Baltimore’s VALUE communities to build trust in the health system, educate the community, and promote unity to combat COVID-19 and other health issues.
COVID-19 Vaccine Ambassadors are trusted leaders and messengers for specific communities in Baltimore. The Ambassador’s mission is to reach out to their communities, have conversations and discussions about the COVID-19 vaccine with community members, and answer questions from the community.
The compendium provides current information on COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 policies and guidance for speaking to those that have concerns or questions. The document was designed as a reference to ensure that VALUE Ambassadors have the most up-to-date information when working with Baltimore communities.
