What We Do
VaxDSM is a local collaborative effort to lift awareness and acceptance of the value of vaccination against COVID-19 among Black, Latino, African, Asian-American, and other underserved populations in Central Iowa, to decrease illness and deaths in our community. We are looking for your help to spread the word on the benefits of getting vaccinated by helping our team distribute flyers for upcoming vaccine clinics, yard signs, educational materials, and more to the wider community. If you are passionate about helping others, are interested in reaching underserved populations, and want to play a part in keeping our community well, contact us!
