The Advancing the Response to COVID-19: Sharing Promising Programs and Practices for Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities virtual symposium will feature presentations and strategies developed for public health leaders and community organizations confronting the pandemic.

OMH encourages you to talk to your doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional to ensure you and your loved ones are up to date on recommended vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccination is the best protection against preventable diseases such as influenza, measles, viral hepatitis.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  *   In 2015, Hispanic adults were 40 percent less likely to be fully immunized against hepatitis, as compared to white adults.
  *   In 2015, Asian/Pacific Islander adults aged 65 years and older were 30 percent less likely to have ever received the pneumonia shot, compared to non-Hispanic white adults of the same age group.
  *   In 2016, American Indian/Alaska Native adults aged 18 years and over were 10 percent less likely as their non-Hispanic white counterparts to have received the influenza shot in the past 12 months.

Phase 3 Clinical Trials for COVID-19 Vaccine

[nih moderna mrna-1273 vaccine trial timeline]The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and the biotechnology company, Moderna, Inc. are co-developers of an investigational vaccine aimed to prevent symptomatic COVID-19 in adults. The clinical trials will be conducted across 89 clinical research sites and are expected to enroll about 30,000 adult volunteers.

Racial and ethnic minorities have historically been underrepresented in clinical trials and clinical research.
