VACCINE TRUSTED MESSENGER CAMPAIGN

With Chicago and Illinois once again hitting peaks of infection, the Chicago Medical Society has partnered with Midwest Infectious Disease Consultants (MIDC) in launching a broad, inclusive campaign to provide education and promote confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines.
We have found that trusted sources are unique and vary across local neighborhoods and communities. Some prioritize the physician-patient relationship and others trust local organizations and churches. CMS recognizes the need for an array of trusted messengers to promote confidence and knowledge for the COVID-19 vaccine, especially in medically underserved communities.

We are asking you and your organization to become a trusted messenger to discuss the importance of getting the vaccine to dispel myths and other inaccurate information.


CMS IN THE NEWS

CMS and its COVID-19 Taskforce are continuously working on your behalf. We hear your concerns and questions, and make every effort to voice them in our community and to our government leaders. Check out our recent media appearances:
CMS AND MIDC ADDRESS ACCESS TO COVID-19 VACCINE

Some CMS members have been reporting concerns over access to the COVID-19 vaccine. To address these concerns, CMS has again joined forces with MIDC to provide those frontline healthcare providers with access to the vaccine.

This vaccine program will serve as a safety net for those who have been unable to get the vaccine thus far. We will be contacting members over the next several weeks with more information.
