As the COVID-19 vaccine is deployed, the Cambia Health Foundation, alongside its grant partners, would like to provide information and resources that support vaccine education and advance access for all.

While state health departments are in charge of vaccine distribution and eligibility requirements, and those differ slightly depending on the state. we are committed to helping people answer their questions about the vaccine’s safety and efficacy, how it was developed, and the role vaccines play in the health of our communities.
