Adult Immunization:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NHCOA is working to close the gap on adult immunizations among Hispanic older adults, their families, and caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our work focuses on using culturally and linguistically competent outreach and communications activities to engage Hispanic communities on the issue of adult vaccination to prevent diseases across the nation. We take a national approach to advocating for policy changes that make it easier for older adults to access vaccines. Our efforts include an educational awareness campaign, that specifically aims to educate Latino older adults about the importance of adult vaccines. We engage in this educational campaign via Spanish radios, opinion editorials in Spanish newspapers and on our social media platforms, including Facebook\u2122, Twitter\u2122, and Instagram \u2122, NHCOA\u2019s Blog and its e-newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 work <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NHCOA is serving as a trusted source of timely COVID-19 information, and we make this information available in English, Spanish and Portuguese through our social media platforms. We are actively developing bilingual blogs, flyers, and infographics about COVID-19, its prevention and the vaccines.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the pandemic, NHCOA has been offering older adults nutritional support services and housing financial support. NHCOA has also been educating legislators about the issues important to older adults and their caregivers during this pandemic.  As a part of our educational work, NHCOA has hosted a series of virtual Tele-town halls \u2013 these continue to be offered as a way to <\/em>inform, engage and empower communities during COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please check our social media to learn when our next virtual event will take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another element of our multi-media awareness campaign is our Cafecito con NHCOA or virtual coffee hour series. These are virtual conversations that allow NHCOA staff and guests to talk about current issues with the communities we serve, including addressing myths about COVID-19, ageism, and racism. These online conversations specifically target promotores de salud (community health workers), caregivers and other grassroot leaders. They are hosted via Facebook and occur once a month. The virtual chats are conducted in Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to our educational work, NHCOA is collecting data on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors surrounding COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccines. To that end, NHCOA is hosting a series of focus groups with Latinos to better understand these things. We are also launching a short survey to accompany these focus groups. It is our hope that the knowledge gained from this study will allow us, and others, to make better targeted educational campaigns to keep our communities safe and healthy. Please email nhcoa@nhcoa.org<\/a> if you are interested in participating in our focus groups. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-120","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nPublic Policy - NHCOA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nhcoa.org\/es\/publicpolicy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Public Policy - NHCOA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pol\u00edtica P\u00fablica NHCOA educa y aboga por la aprobaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas y pr\u00e1cticas p\u00fablicas que permitan a los latinos envejecer con dignidad, seguridad econ\u00f3mica y en la mejor salud posible.
