We connect and uplift local leaders to solve the public health challenges of right now.
Get Involved
Everyone in Chicagoland deserves to access the COVID vaccine. Help us mobilize community members to ensure equitable vaccine access and strengthen our public health workforce.
The Vaccine Partnership is a collaboration of 160+ organizations dedicated to building a healthier, more resilient Chicagoland.
We’re amplifying hyper-local, community-led, culturally responsive strategies for equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines, providing a more just way of ensuring health across Chicagoland.
What We Do.
Mobilize trusted community leaders to share quality information about COVID vaccination in the communities hit hardest by COVID.
Educate community members about the latest COVID science and opportunities to grow their public health skills.
Elevate coordination between community-based organizations, government, health care, and philanthropy to improve vaccination efforts and public health workforce development.
