MEDIA TOOLKIT:

COLLEGE STUDENTS AND COVID-19 VACCINATIONS


Developed by students enrolled in the University of Wisconsin-Parkside COMM 340: Health Communication class (Spring 2021) in partnership with Kenosha County Division of Health

 

The purpose of this site is to provide information and resources that can be used for disseminating messages to college students regarding the COVID-19 vaccinations and to help address concerns or questions that college students typically have had about the vaccinations. These resources are available for public use and dissemination and may be adjusted and tailored for the specific community of college students that you are communicating with.

We have attempted to be diligent and thorough in our research to provide up to date and accurate information. We also recognize the continually changing nature of what is known about COVID-19 and its associated vaccinations as well as ongoing updates related to policies and practices. We encourage you to double-check the accuracy of information in any of our resources that you utilize, and should you find any inaccuracies, welcome you to contact us.
