Celebrities Encourage Americans To Get The COVID-19 Vaccine

Present Day Ad Campaign for the COVID-19 Vaccines

Like many campaigns before, including Rosie the Riveter, Smokey the Bear and more, celebrities from around the world are banding together to promote the new COVID-19 vaccines through the ‘It’s Up To You’ campaign. The goal is to convince Americans to get vaccinated. In this news segment, we hear that 3 in 10 Americans say they will not get the COVID vaccine.

Our Center Director, Dr. Lisa Cooper, comments on the campaign saying:

“For some people, having celebrities who are familiar faces speaking up and saying that they are taking the vaccine or that they can vouch for the safety of it, will be convincing.”
