Email template for summer programs at camps or schools
Dear parents and guardians,
As our summer programming is under way, we want to make sure our youth are able to live, learn, and play freely without needing to worry about getting sick from COVID-19, or getting others sick. We are so excited children 12 years and older can get their COVID-19 vaccine.
At [insert your organization name], we [insert reference to mission]. You play an important part in that mission. We need your help to ensure your child 12 years and older is protected against COVID-19 and other diseases, so that we can build a healthy community together. COVID-19 vaccination is not only the safest and most effective way to protect our community from COVID-19, it will also help you and your child make the most of summer.
Did you know?
- Fully vaccinated children and adults do not have to quarantine if exposed to COVID-19 as long as they don’t have symptoms. This will keep your child outside, playing, and in the summer programming they love.
- The COVID-19 vaccine protects against serious illness. It helps our bodies recognize and fight SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, so we don't get sick or spread the disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that nearly 1 in 10 COVID-19 cases reported in April were in children 12-17 years old. According to additional CDC data, more than 13,000 adolescents 12-17 years old have been hospitalized and at least 127 have died due to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. In clinical trials, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was 100% effective at preventing COVID-19 in adolescents 12-15 years old.
- Getting the vaccine can protect your child from the virus and its variants and help stop the virus from mutating and spreading. Some COVID-19 variants have mutations that make them spread more easily. Because variants like these are more common now, people who are unvaccinated, including children, are more likely to get COVID-19 now than they were earlier in the pandemic.
By getting your child vaccinated, you and your family can enjoy the summer with less stress, knowing they are protected against COVID-19. Find a vaccination site near you by visiting Vaccines.gov or calling 211 today.
Please also make sure your family is up to date on routine vaccinations. Many children and adolescents have missed routine well-child visits and vaccinations during the pandemic. Contact your child's health care provider or visit https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/parents-adults/resources-parents.html to learn more about which vaccines your child is due for. Call 211 to find a health care provider near you.
Thank you for doing your part to keep your child, family, and community healthy. If you have any questions please contact [insert your contact information or share the phone number 211 or email dhscovidvaccinepublic@wi.gov].
Sincerely,

Post #2: If your child gets their vaccine, they can stay in the game. Studies show the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective at preventing COVID-19 in adolescents. That means once they are fully vaccinated, they won’t miss out on school or sports because of COVID-19.

Tips and resources for your own communications
Talking about COVID-19 vaccination
- See the CDC’s clear guide on how to talk about COVID-19 vaccines with friends and family.
- The COVID-19 Vaccine Homepage has easy to read frequently asked questions, information about what to expect before and after COVID-19 vaccination, and resources for health care workers.
- Answer tough using the Public Health Communications Collaborative’s message guidance and framing.
- The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia answers frequently asked questions on their COVID-19 Vaccine Education Center website.
Resources for health care providers
- DHS's Making the C.A.S.E. for COVID-19 Vaccination is a four-step framework for health care professionals to communicate vaccine science and answer vaccine questions. It is important to be genuine, professional, and compassionate when having these conversations. Try using the C.A.S.E. Method the next time you talk to someone who has questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.
- Corroborate: Acknowledge the patient’s concern and find points on which you can agree. Set the tone for a respectful, successful talk.
- About Me: Describe what you have done to build your knowledge base and expertise on this issue.
- Science: Describe what the science says using language the patient will understand.
- Explain/Advise: Give your recommendation, based on the science.
- Yale School of Medicine is offering a free online module that contains instructional material for health care providers on the process of communicating with patients about the COVID-19 vaccine. This module focuses on recommendations on effective messaging strategies focused on how to say it rather than what to say.
- The module, COVID-19 Vaccination: A Communication Guide for Providers, is available now through February 28, 2022. Yale's continuing medical education trainings are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for both physician and non-physician attendees.
Using data to target your communication efforts
- Target your outreach by using the Neighborhood Health Partnerships’ interactive tool, COVID-19 Relative Mortality Risk and Barriers to Vaccination by ZIP Code. It lets you search by county and see which ZIP codes in your county have lowest resources or opportunities to protect their health with vaccines.
- Diagnose and address access and confidence challenges in your area. CDC has developed a Rapid Community Assessment Guide with customizable research instruments that can be adapted to different communities, including key informant interview guides, listening sessions, and a vaccine confidence survey.
- You can use the free Vaccine Equity Planner to identify useful partners or locations to hold vaccination clinics, easily taking into account distances to existing vaccination sites, varying social vulnerability, and people’s intentions to get vaccinated. This tool identifies COVID-19 “vaccine deserts,” where people have little or no convenient access to vaccination, and potential new vaccination sites to address the gaps.
- See which areas have the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates by:
- Census tracts
- Municipalities (cities, towns, and villages)
- School district boundaries
- Zip code tabulation areas
Training in COVID-19 vaccine communication
Is your organization promoting COVID-19 vaccine confidence in your community? We offer in-depth trainings and a tailored presentation to partners about the Vaccine Communication Framework. Our goal is to give the trusted voices in the community the information and resources they need to feel confident about educating their communities. For more information, please email our vaccine team.
You can also view the Public Health Communication Collaborative’s resources and recorded webinars to gain deeper understanding of COVID-19 vaccine and public health communication. Topics include Successful COVID-19 Messaging in Rural Communities and messaging recommendations.
Addressing misinformation
- The U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory warning the American public about the urgent threat of health misinformation. The advisory calls for a whole-of-society approach to fighting misinformation and includes specific suggestions for educators, health professionals, journalists, technology platforms, and more. Below are a few highlights, please see the alert for more details.
- Health misinformation takes away our power to make the best decision about our health.
- Each of us as individuals have the power and responsibility to confront misinformation.
- We need to work together with other organizations and individuals to develop local strategies against misinformation.
- Use the Public Health Communication Collaborative’s Misinformation Alerts to learn what misinformation is being shared in the moment and how to respond.
- Learn how to spot and stop the spread of misinformation with resources from Stronger, a national vaccine advocacy campaign.
