COVID-19 AND VACCINES: Update 1 | Indigenous Services Canada

created: Feb 16, 2021

Information and communication resources for Indigenous communities and organizations

The pandemic has touched many Indigenous communities across the country and people need information to help them manage in this ever-changing environment.  With the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines, people have renewed hope but understandably also have questions on how a vaccine will impact them and their families.

To help you answer some of these questions we have prepared a toolkit that contains a variety of communication resources and information for you to share with your community.  Each community is unique in the way it shares information with its members. This toolkit can serve as a guide to create messages tailored to your community.

This is the SECOND version of the communications toolkit, please look for updated versions in the coming weeks as the situation continues to evolve.
