Vaccines

As COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out across the country, churches are playing a key role in education and assisting people to access vaccines. We encourage leaders to educate yourselves, your members, and your communities about COVID vaccines in order to stop disinformation and encourage vaccination. Access can be a significant issue for many people, especially those with limited access to technology. We invite you to think about how you might help share important and helpful information with members of the church and community. Don’t underestimate your role in this critical time!

One tool that churches can use for this work is the Wisconsin COVID-19 Vaccine Registry which the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) launched March 1. This will help connect individuals with sites offering vaccine by providing a central place let people know where and when they can they can get vaccinated and let them schedule an appointment. The Wisconsin Vaccine Registry will be used by those who opt in. While not a comprehensive resource for all vaccination options it can be a valuable tool as we work towards community vaccination rates that will make it safer to gather in groups again.

At the Wisconsin Council of Churches, we are committed to helping Churches equip their congregations and communities with current, factual information which connects science with our faith-based context.
