Fox News
The White House is partnering with faith communities across the country this weekend to launch its month of action, encouraging individuals to get the COVID-19 vaccine in President Biden’s final push to get eligible adults inoculated against the novel coronavirus before July 4.
The official said the White House is working with faith communities to open their houses of worship as vaccination sites, underscoring the importance of hesitant individuals to learn about COVID-19 vaccinations from faith leaders they trust. "So much of this underscores what we’re seeing, which is local messengers are a big part of how the next phase of vaccinations will be successful," a White House official told Fox News. "They want to hear from people they know and trust," the official continued. "When a pastor or a congregational leader, or a deacon can say ‘I got vaccinated,’ that helps build confidence a lot, and breaks down these barriers."More Related News
