CDC Foundation seeks to combat COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy through the arts
The CDC Foundation is encouraging COVID-19 vaccinations by partnering with arts and cultural organizations.
On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Judy Monroe, the president and CEO of CDC Foundation, told program host Rose Scott that people need to hear from trusted sources and that the foundation is funding a total of 30 organizations across the country to boost vaccine confidence.
According to the foundation’s website, Dad’s Garage Inc., Out of Hand Theater and the University of Georgia are the three Georgia community-based organizations that will receive funding from the foundation.
Monroe further explained that the selected organizations had to submit proposals about how they’d engage and educate their audiences about COVID-19 vaccines.
“The visual arts, they really matter in our culture and how we view the world,” said Monroe.
