Community Health Workers and COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool to help stop
the spread of disease and protect our
communities.1 This is especially important as
disparities in accessing COVID-19 education and
resources continue to impact special and
vulnerable communities.1 As trusted members of
their communities who empower their peers
through education and connections to health and
social resources, Community Health
Workers/Promotores(as) de Salud play an
important role in providing equitable COVID-19
vaccination education and resources.1

In this Resource Guide, we demonstrate the valuable and crucial role Community Health
Workers/Promotores(as) de Salud play in the vaccination efforts, and we provide examples, tools, and
best practices to help health centers better integrate Community Health Workers/Promotores(as) into
their COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
