WHAT ARE VACCINE SUNDAYS?

Vaccine Sundays is a project designed to provide vetted information from trusted resources to the underserved Spanish-speaking community in Colorado. The goal is to make prevention education and outreach part of the Church’s ministry.

Julissa provides trusted, and vetted information on COVID-19 information that fosters preparedness rather than stoking fear and perpetuating myths. She provides information in Spanish on the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. She educates the congregation on infection prevention habits, like proper handwashing techniques and other common practices frequently taught to combat influenza. She teaches infection control strategies, provides healthful habit reminders and provides information on how to get vaccines. She also posts fliers and disseminates information regarding vaccine sites in the community.
