In partnership with the COVID Collaborative, the Ad Council has announced a major communications effort to educate the American public about COVID-19 vaccination. “Widespread adoption of the COVID-19 vaccine is our generation’s ‘moonshot’ and will represent one of the largest public health interventions in our nation’s history,” said Lisa Sherman, Ad Council president and CEO. “By bringing together the worlds of communications, public health and policy, we can transform life as we know it today and save hundreds of thousands of lives.” Read our launch release, and check out coverage from NPR and The New York Times. |
