Equity in Action: Esperanza Hope for All Adult Vaccine Access Program
Since its inception in 2021, Esperanza Hope for All (EHFA), an institution-wide initiative launched by UnidosUS, has been at the forefront of mitigating the health, economic and educational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Latino communities.
Building upon our prior national advocacy and public health responses in 2020, this initiative has placed a paramount focus on promoting vaccine equity among adults. Supported by both private and public funding, UnidosUS implemented a comprehensive national bilingual education and awareness campaign (On-the-Air efforts), coupled with support for a cohort of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) within its Affiliate Network (On-the-Ground efforts). These multifaceted endeavors aim to inform Latinos about COVID-19 and flu vaccines, increase confidence of uptake, and ensure equitable inclusion of the Hispanic community in vaccine distribution efforts across the country. This impact report encompasses the total combined efforts across the first three and a half years (2021-August 2024).
