A  pledge to support people in Black African and Black African Caribbean communities to take up their COVID-19 vaccinations has been backed by 65 prominent health and community leaders.

In an open letter, published by the Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN), they back COVID-19 vaccination as safe and offer to be available for open and honest discussions about it, promising that questions will be met with respect and compassion.  

Teams can support the pledge and download social media assets to use in their engagement with Black communities via the COVID-19 Vaccine Equalities Connect and Exchange Hub.
