Vaccinating Hard-to-Reach Communities

NLC Joins Effort with Biden Administration

In an effort to combat COVID-19 and help communities stay healthy and safe, local leaders are encouraged to participate in this initiative to increase vaccination rates among their community.

There can be unique challenges associated with delivering and administering much-needed vaccinations in hard to reach communities. NLC has worked to bring together resources and real-life examples of local leaders creating change and impact in their communities.

This initiative supports the National Month of Action and the We Can Do This campaign. Please visit the We Can Do This website for additional resources and information about the national vaccination effort.
