BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The County is proud to partner
with The Health Foundation of South Florida and Miami-Dade County for the "I Did It" COVID-19 vaccination
campaign. The effort is geared to expand vaccine education outreach across South
Florida and reach the region’s most vulnerable neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
A kick-off ceremony took place
on April 21, 2021, and is available for replay here.
As of April 21, nearly 1.2 million people
across Broward and Miami-Dade counties have been fully vaccinated, including 484,701 people in Broward County. However, hesitation
and resistance to taking the vaccine continue in certain areas. The campaign is
intended to increase overall vaccine confidence.
“The ‘I Did It’ campaign is an amazing grassroots effort to increase vaccine confidence in our vulnerable and underserved communities,” said Broward County Commissioner Nan Rich. “It is critical to achieving “herd immunity,” which will allow us all to return to our normal lives.”
Campaign materials will be distributed
across television, radio, outdoor, print, digital and social media in English,
Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese and feature area nonprofits, faith-based
organizations, community leaders and local residents. For more information on the campaign, visit IDidItSFL.com. For information on vaccine
