In support of the White House’s Vaccine Month of Action, Autism Speaks is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Autism Society of America, and the Autism Science Foundation to share information about COVID-19 vaccine accessibility for the autism community.

Join us this Wednesday, June 30 at 3-4 p.m. ET for our COVID-19 Vaccine Accessibility Webinar.

Panelists from the partnering organizations will explain why it is so important to get vaccinated and how to make the experience more comfortable for yourself or your family member with autism. In addition, panelists will share research about the health impacts of COVID-19 infection, discuss tools to make the vaccine experience more accessible to autistic people, and answer questions from participants around the COVID-19 vaccine and accessibility.
