Our COVID-19 Work

At the programmatic level, we funded or partnered with 30 organizations across multiple funding sources to conduct vaccine outreach, host events, make meaningful partnerships in the community, and use their base of community members to help sway others to get vaccinated. In total, the 30 organizations hosted 723 vaccination events, assisted 4,618 people get to vaccines, vaccinated 5,780 community members, and reached 1,310,501 people with COVID-19 information.

Listening Sessions
Houston in Action and partners across our network are working to increase equitable access to vaccination against Covid-19. Our work begins with listening. Find relevant studies and research relevant for public health and medical professionals, government officials, community health workers and other working to protect the health of greater Houston-area communities here.
Town Halls
Houston In Action held an “Ask us Anything” style town hall to answer your questions about vaccination against Covid-19, specially for children in your care. We were joined by Dr. Amya Mitchell, a Pediatrics Specialist in Houston, TX and has over 18 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School medical school in 2003.
