About this initative

The FaithHealth Vaccine Initiative, led by the Institute for Spirituality and Health at the Texas Medical Center, bridges faith and health by bringing diverse faith leaders together to learn about vaccines, engage in open dialogue about questions and concerns, and share experiences.

By thinking creatively about how faith perspectives can inform vaccine promotion, we strive to increase health equity and ensure that everyone makes informed health choices that keep them and their communities safe.

This website serves as a resource hub where faith leaders and community members alike can explore resources and materials to help them become health champions, for themselves and others.

This initiative is generously supported by the Center for Disease Control Foundation.
