A blue and yellow card holder lies on a white background next to 4 conversation cards splayed out, going in order of purple, green, blue and orange. The card holder reads "We need your help! Have friends or family that are still not vaccinated? Give them a card or use it to start a conversation."

Two lines of five card holders, the left side blue and the right purple, each saying, "We need your help! Have friends or family that are still not vaccinated? Give them a card or use it to start a conversation."

One card holder lies open on the surface, with four conversation cards and a vaccination card tucked in. There is a QR code, along with some text that reads "Scan QR code. A friend is misinformed about the vaccine. Here are the facts you need to respond."

All four conversation cards are show, each with its own phrase on the front. The backs of the cards are show as well, next to the front.

About

Categorization: CEAL - Vaccine Ambassadors

Year: 2021

Aim: Vaccine Ambassadors aimed to recruit unvaccinated members of recently vaccinated individuals’ social groups for vaccination.

Outcome: To accomplish this, community members who just received a vaccine at a given site are asked to receive a holder with conversation cards geared towards starting a conversation with members of their social network. This holder includes between 10-15 conversation cards and serves as a protective sleeve for the vaccinated individual’s new proof of vaccination card. To date, over 8,000 holders with cards have been distributed to St. Louis residents.
