Kulan Center team developed this message to educate communities of preventative public health measures and that vaccination is the best protection against the virus and its Delta variant. Kulan Center also informed parents of the availability of COVID-19 Pfizer Vaccine to children ages 5-11, which CDC highly recommends as safe and effective vaccine.

After getting vaccinated against COVID-19, several studies compiled by CDC and Minnesota Department of Health suggest protection against the virus and the ability to prevent infection with the Delta variant will diminish over time. To stay protected, booster shots are available to everyone ages 18 and older. Please contact your provider with questions you may have and to schedule your booster shot.

Kulan Center has conducted a series of community outreach and education sessions to identify what barriers and facilitators drive the rate of COVID-19 vaccination. Some of the barriers include transportation or the existence of widespread misinformation about the vaccine and myths people believe about its effects. Kulan Center continues to engage and empower members of communities disproportionately impacted by the spread of the virus by providing resources and accurate and reliable information.
