Dear Friends of Stop the Spread, 

With fewer than 50% of Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and the Delta or B.1.617.2 variant spreading nationwide, we recognize that the US is at a critical moment in vaccine distribution. Stop the Spread continues to work with our partners to share information, build trust, and increase access to vaccines in communities with low rates of vaccination. 

The latest drop of our Playbook for Community-Based Vaccinations includes our practices and tactics that are working, along with 45+ downloadable tools for easy implementation. This release includes:

• Top 10 Tips for Addressing Misinformation 
• 5 Tactics for Community Outreach & Demand Generation
• How-to-Guides for Pop-up Vaccine Sites 
• Tools for Site Directors and Administrators 

The playbook combines first-hand experience from Stop the Spread vaccination and health equity efforts in New York and California, interviews with vaccination leaders across the country, and publicly available third-party information about COVID-19. Here are examples of the impact we are seeing through this work: 

The playbook has been featured by the following organizations: 

• New York Academy of Medicine 
• Project Finish Line (Sostento) 
• Vaccine Equity Cooperative 

• Share our playbook with someone you think would be interested in learning more,  or include us in your organization’s newsletter or blog!
• Follow STS on Twitter and LinkedIn and share/retweet our playbook highlights to amplify our messaging. We have compiled a promotional guide to support this request.
• Introduce STS to webinar or presentation opportunities. We are seeking opportunities to share our community vaccination experience and resources with organizations, coalitions, and networks that are working to combat COVID-19 and advance vaccine and health equity. 

Thank you for your continued, active support of our mission and work.
