Accessibility and the COVID-19 Vaccine Experience for People with Disabilities

September 13, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

You are invited to join the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) and the National COVID-19 Resiliency Network (NCRN) for a webinar on strategies and tools for accessibility in the COVID-19 vaccine experience. Persons with disabilities experience difficult barriers in getting the COVID-19 vaccine such as having accessible formats of COVID-19 vaccine information and materials and providing reasonable accommodations.

What we will talk about?

  • The intersectionality of how race, ethnicity, and disability connect.
  • The importance of COVID-19 vaccines for people with disabilities.

What will we explain?

  • What do “accessibility” and “disability” mean?
  • How can we be accessible when we share information about the COVID-19 vaccine and in future public health emergencies?
