COVID Vaccine Resources
Understanding the COVID-19 Vaccines IowaBio partnered with the Iowa Medical Society, Iowa Public Health Association, and Iowa Immunizes Coalition to develop an informative and easy to understand one-pager titled "Understanding the COVID-19 Vaccines". This document highlights the vaccine clinical trial phases, the Emergency Use Authorization process, the review boards used to establish the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, and how the state of Iowa has been a part of the vaccine development efforts. COVID Vaccine Facts BIO has partnered with the NIH and CDC to create covidvaccinefacts.org, a website with vaccine development and safety information that can be downloaded, rebranded and reshared via social media or other methods.
