Hi Michael. Sorry for the delay on my patt. Tt was a crazy week with the J&J news. Yes, attached are two
documents - an overview of the Community Corps and also a new program that we are announcing on
Monday called We Can Do This Live, which l told you a little about when we talked. We know from all
of our research that people become more confidence about the vaccine when they learn more about it
from doctors and have their questions answered. We are asking celebrities and organizations witb large
social followings to join us to pair them with a medical professional to do a social media interaction that
would reach their fan s and followers. Our medical experts don't have the platform that celebrities do and
this is a great way to bring that together and reach their fans with important vaccine info and get their
questions answered.
Would the Recording Academy be interested in being a founding member of We Can Do This Live with
us? We could put you in the press release on Monday and do a series of events with you going
forward . We can have Dr. Fauci, Surgeon General Murthy and others join your stars to do lnstagram or
Facebook Lives, or other fun ways to reach their fans.
We would love to work with you and are open at all ideas. Thanks so much for the call this week and
your openness to working with us to build confidence in the vaccines. Kristina
Hi Kristina, following up on our call from earlier this week-do you have the materials to share for the
Community Corp partnership? I have briefed various departments, and we're all excited to get going on
next steps.
Michael
[EXTERNAL]
Monday would be best from our workflow standpoint, we have an internal team mtg first thing Tuesday
so it wou ld be perfectly timed to have a readout and some initial marching orders to report. Then we
can more quickly kick into gear other departments, like marketing and membership, that might be
needed for collaboration on materials and outreach .
Michael
[EXTERNAL]
Should we wait until Tuesday? It is f ine with me to wait an add it ional day. Any open windows then?
Moving Daryl, Josh, and Georgeta to bee while we schedule this call.
Hi Kristina,
Happy Thursday! Unfortunately, Daryl's packed schedule on Monday is presenting a conflict on our end .
To avoid delaying this important conversation, Michael will represent the Academy on the call. We
apologize for the conflict.
With that being said, Michael has a fair amount of flexibi lity before 4p ET on Monday. Please let me
know what works best on your end and I will circulate a calendar invite. Should Michael call you directly
at (202)[b){6l 1
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Hi Kristina, Monday looks to be a good option. Matt, cc'd, will reach out to you to find a best time on
your end. Excited to speak further.
Michael
[EXTERNAL]
Thank you Josh. Hello Daryl and Michael. I would love t o set up a time t o talk to you more. Do you have
any time tomorrow or Monday? My cell is 202f bJ(6J po you have it. Thanks, Kristina
I want to introduce the two of you . Daryl is the Chief Advocacy Officer for the Recording Academy
(Grammy). Kristina oversees the Administration's COVID-19 public educat ion campaign .
The Recording Academy and MusiCares are interested in joining the Community Corps- they'd like to
pass on information and social content to their thousands of musically talented members. The music
industry has been hard hit by COVID-19, so this has been central to their work over the last year, which
is why they are so motivated.
In addition to joining, given the profile and reach of many of their members, there may also be an
opportunity to engage some higher profile members directly, but I'll leave that to the two of you when
you connect.

Sabrina, this is awesome! Thank you so much for the time and thought you put into this. As we
discussed, I have no idea how to use a Dell so rather than editing the document, I made a few notes

Good Afternoon-
Attached are the two documents I have created for Community Corps tracking. Let me know your
thoughts on the plan and tracker. I can send it over to the other email chain too after you have looked at
it. I highlighted 19 that I thought would be best and we can narrow to 10-15 but may be best to reach
out to 19 assuming some may not get back to us in a timely manner?
let me know your thoughts and anything else I should do. Thanks!
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a national public
education campaign, We Ca11 Do This, to increase confidence and uptake in the COVID-19
vaccines and encourage continued prevention measures, including mask wearing and social
distancing. Through the nationwide effort of consistent, fact-based public health messaging, the
campaign is designed to help Americans make informed decisions about their health and
COVID-19 to protect themselves and their communities.
We have reached a critical point in the pandemic- getting Americans vaccinated as quickly as
possible is our path out of this crisis. To be successful, Americans need to be ready and willing
to roll up their sleeves when the vaccin e is available to them. We recognize the importance of
Americans hearjng from trusted messengers about the effectiveness and need to be confident
when it is their turn to receive the vaccine. We are asking everyone to help us end the pandemic
by reaching out to their com munities to encourage vaccine confidence.
Over the coming months, the COVlD- 19 Public Education Campaign T eam at HHS along with
the COVlD-19 Response Team at [he White House will be working together with prominent
members of the COVID -19 Commu nity Corps- organizations with large social followings,
celebrities and influencers - to host conversat1ons with our national public health experts as well
as local medical professionals to ansvver direct questions about COVlD -19, the vaccine. and
provide our target audiences with the information they need to ultimately decide to get
vaccinated. These engagements will constitute our We Can Do This: LJ've progTam and will allow
us to reach into targeted communities. Our goal will be to communicate directly and plainly with
the American public in the places where they consume content online: via content creators,
podcasters, Facebook groups, and more.
Specific Ideas on Ways the Entertainment Industry Can Help Build Vaccine Confidence
• Provide talent with information needed to join and support the We Can Do This
campa1gn.
• Connect talent with the resources needed to create engaging content that increases
vaccine confidence.
• Tntegrate We Can Do This into scripted and unscripted programming, if and when
possible.
• Allow characters from scripted progranu:ning to be used in high-quality content
promoting vaccine confidence.
• Donate production resources to expanding vaccine awareness .
• Work with talent to provide ''giveaway experiences" (e.g. fan meet-and-greets) for those
who are vaccinated.
• Amplify artists social media posts on vaccine safety and receiving their vaccine. Lead your
teams or network to also post on social media about receiving their vaccine and the
importance of being vaccinated.
• Work with formal and informal artist networks to expa nd participation in the We Can Do
This Campaign.
• Help artists who rely on live events for their art and livelihoods convey the message that
the sooner everyone's vaccinated, the sooner we can have concerts and shows again .
Contact Us
We are here to be a resource to all organizations working to increase confidence in the COVlD-
19 vaccines. For more information, please visit our webs ite wecandothis.hhs.gov/ or contact us

Do we need to have someone besides Vivek? I'm sure we could ask Fauci but also wanted to
raise whether Vivek could ride solo and it be fine.
Hello- we haven't received a response yet should we look into someone else? lan- any ideas of who we
could get that would be available? Maybe Dr Fauci again?
Thank you!!
Hi Dr. Corbett. We would really appreciate if you would do this one, especially since we you are doing
tbe Instagram takeover of Michelle Obama's account on May 3 we wm push that out to the Community
Corps members so it would be great for you to have already connected with this group. We had more than
2,000 Corps members attend this week's conversation with Dr. Murthy and Dr. Fauci, and expect we will
get a response for Monday's conversation as well. Monday is very important to us since it is the day the
vaccine becomes eligible to all adults so we want to make a big push.
We thought you may be a phenomenal voice to join this call w ith our COVID Community Corps on the
day all adults in U.S. w ill be eligible for vaccine, since you're such an effective messenger with younger
people (who benefit from this eligibility!). We'd be happy to provide more info if helpful. Let us know if
you're interested!
HI Sabrina- thanks for reaching out, and nice to meet you. I'm connecting you direct ly with Dr. Corbett
and wit h Nissa Hiatt, who helps Dr. Corbett navigate her many invitations. They can best speak to Dr.
Corbett's availability to do this w ith t he Surgeon General on Monday evening. Thank you!

Yes, the ask right now is the press release. She does not need to commit to the IG Live right now- that's
just an idea of the type of thing we could do in the future through the Community Corps. Unfortunately I
can't share the release from the White House ahead of time, but it just outlines the program and lists
the organizations and people who have signed up so far, which is at 202 as of right now, will probably be
250 by Thursday.
Thanks, Kristina! To confirm, the current ask is to join Community Corps in name for Thursday's press
release and/or do an IG Live with Dr. Fauci or Dr. Corbett at some point. Is that right?
Of course, the most timely is the release. Do you happen to have a draft that I could share with her and
her PR team? If not, no problem at all. We can get a gut check and follow up if it is feasible with her J&J
partnership terms.

Krist ina, I'm happy to chime in here! Thanks for sharing this background. Sounds like a great initiative.
I manage Kerry's advocacy work at Propper Daley so I can get this ask to her asap. As Greg mentioned,
she has been on a hiatus for March so our communication is somewhat limited. I will do my
absolute best to get you a quick answer, nonetheless!
• • Are any of the pharmaceutical companies involved or supporting this in any way?
• • Who will be in the audience? It would be great if you could share a few more of the member
organizations, who might be joining from their end, and if there are any other folks listening in
to the zoom.
• • Are there any requirements to join the COVID Community Corps? Or is it really just in name for
the announcement and then she can post as information comes up if she would like?

Will find out about J&J right away. Would love to include her name even if she can't attend the zoom.
Thanks Greg!
Hello! This is great. Let me check rea l quick to see what's possible.
One note· she has a formal relationship with J&J (through her relationship with Neutrogena) ... just
making sure that wouldn't be an Issue?
KW is on "leave" for a month to be with her family and went dark on social and hasn't been doing
anything public. She Is formally back at the end of this week. So the Thurs event may be tough, but let
me see if we can get an answer to listing her name and w111 ask about the event also just in case!

Greg, I already have a request for you! The White House is annou11cing a new initiative on Thursday
called the Covid 19 Community Corps, which is a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to
reaching their fellow Americans with accurate, timely vaccine information and encouraging
vaccination. We are announcing it with a number of organizations as members, including the NAACP,
MLB, NASCAR, National Association of Broadcasters etc. Our goal is to work with organizations with
large memberships and followings to help us reach their networks with vaccine info. We would love to
add a few celebrities to the mix and are wondering if Kerry Washington might be willing to lend her
name to it. That would mean we would include her name on the White House press release on
Thursday, we would send you vaccine information every week in the hopes that she may want to
occasionally post about it, and we would look for ways to do more together going forward.
One part of the Community Corps we will be building out is Share the Mic and thought she would be
amazing to do one with Dr. Fauci or Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, the researcher behind the Covid vaccine.
We would love it if she would lend her name to the announcement and we could find ways to work
together going forward. Thanks for considering it!

Charlie and I are putting together a short document for CBOs and faith based organizations on how to
access funds made available through CDC, ACL, HRSA, etc. for vaccine outreach and other community
support.
We want to include a short section on the community corps as well. Can you take a look at the language

Adrian, Mel issa, Josh and W ill- one of our Commun ity Corps members Made to Save is launch a big
campa ign tomorrow that we want to lift up from the White House task force twitter account. We want
to mention three of the other organizations that have joined the Corps too since we announced it last
Thursday. We now have 4000 members so it is a hard to select wh ich ones. A few we flagged for
consideration are the Independence Fund, Red Cross, Big Cit ies Health Coalition, Equality Health, and
Autism Society.
We launched the COVID-19 commun ity corps with 275 founding members. Since then, more t han 4,000
organ izations have signed up. Thanks to @newgroup, @newgroup and @newgroup for joining.

Increasing access to COVID-19 vaccines, empowering communities, and provid ing information in
hardest-hit areas are key to turning a page on the pandemic. That's why we're thri lled by the launch of

Susan, thank you for the call with you and Deborah. I did a call with NAB today and they told
me you had already teed them up to work with us too. Thank you!
Attached is more information about our new COVID 19 Con.ununity Corps program. As we
discussed on the call, we would love to have Disney be a founding member when the White
House announces the program on Thursday, April 1. There may be a virtual event on
announcement day - we will have more details about that soon - but we would love to list you as
a founding member in our press materials.
The attachment explains the Corps program, but one activity we would like to work with you on
right away would be using your talent to participate in Share the Mic., where we would utilize
their social media platforms to feature a health workers to educate their followers about vaccine
confidence. We could figure that out post-announcement, but it would be a great one to do
together.
Hi Jamie. Thank you for writing back. Evaluation Only. Created with Aspose.HTML. Copyright
2013-2020 Aspose Pty Ltd.elease, and then we would love to work with you over the coming
months to develop one great social media moment where we could have her interact with one of
our public health experts about the vaccine. We would of course make that happen whenever it
worked with her schedule. One idea would be to have her do an Instagram Live with Dr. Fauci or
Dr. Corbett, the researcher who led the team that developed the vaccine.
We will announce the Community Corps membership at 6:30am tomorrow via a press release
from the White House, foUowed by a virtual event with Vice President Hanis at 9: 15 am. Groups
that will be announced as members of the Community Corps include NASCAR, MLB}Faith in
Action, SEIU, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and American Medical Association. 202 groups
have committed to join.
Vice President Harris' team mentioned that they thought she would be a great member of the
Corps given her advocacy on so many important issues. We would love to work with her on
vaccine education and outreach if she is interested.
Hi Kristina,
I hope this email finds you well. We work with Eva Longoria here and reviewed the below. Would love to
get a bit more information around what you'd be looking for from her, how she could be most helpful,
as well as other notable folks who are participating. Her production schedule is quite intense over the
coming months as she prepares to direct her first feature film so I'm not sure all of the items that were
included in the attached will be feasible. Please let us know soonest and we will share with her.
Thank you!
Thank you for the call Shawn. Attached is information about a program the White House wifl
announce on Thursday morning via press release, followed by a Zoom event with Vice President
Hanis- the COVID-19 Community Corps. We are asking prominent Americans and
organizations from across the country to join the Corps and act as trusted messengers to reach
out to their memberships and communities with information about the COVJD- 19 vaccine to
encow·age Americans to get vaccinated.
We are at a pi votal point in the pandemic-- getting Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible
is the path out of this crisis. But to be successful, people must be ready and willing to roll up
their sleeves when the vaccine is available to them. We recognize the importance of people
across the country hearing from local voices and trusted messengers on the safety and efficacy of
COVID-1 9 vaccinations and are asking p~ominent Americans. to help us.
The Vice President's office specifically mentioned Eva Longoria as someone who they would
like to j oin
The request is to lend us their name for the announcement, and then we would love to work
together on creative ideas to engage their followers in the coming :months. One idea we would
love to explore with both of them is doing an Instagram Live with Dr. Fauci or Dr. Corbett, the
researcher who lead the team to develop the vaccine. We will send their tearns weekly updates
on the latest scientific and medical updates, FA.Qs about the vaccine, social media suggestions,
infographics, factsheets with timely, accurate information so they feel well informed, but our
main request will be to build a few unique social engagements with them.
Vice President Harris is doing a Zoom to kick off the Community Corps at 9: 15 am ET on
Thursday. If they would like to join we would of course love it A few of the organizations that
have signed up to be announced on Thursday are NASCAR, Faith in Action, the American
Medical Association, and the Chamber of Commerce.

COVID 19 Community Corps program. If you would like to send out info about the Corps to your
members after the call that would be great, but defer to you.
We are so excited that you are joining us today. I wanted to reach out to make sure you had everything
you needed to join us. Additionally, we know sometimes technology can be a hindrance. (lol) Are you
able to provide us with a phone number we can reach you in case something prevents you from
connecting to the zoom platform?
-Renee
Thank you so much for participating in the event tomorrow at 2 pm EDT. We ask that
you join us around 1:30pm EDT to ensure you are able to access the zoom
platform. Please use this li nk to join our webinar. We are excited for you to be
joining us and hundreds of small business owners to talk about the importance of
getting vaccinated.
Ahead of the webinar for background purposes, please feel free to take a look at this
article which discusses the impact of small businesses being a central influencer to
helping with economic recovery and being essential to rapid and far-reaching
vaccination strategy.
You will be speaking toward the beginning of the call which is the launch of our
Reimagine Main Street Small Business Vaccine Leader campaign (logistic
information is below). The goal of the campaign is to engage with small business
owners, specifically business owners of color, as trusted members of their
communities and harness that trust to increase vaccine access, bolster vaccine
confidence, and promote vaccine equity. Since you are the first speaker we would
love for you to set the stage on all the important vaccine news and developments.
Here are some suggested points that would be useful to the audience:
• Set the context for all exciting activities and developments from the
Administration (e.g., vaccines are safe and effective, new 100-day goal,
National Public Health Week, Administration's work to expand the number of
vaccination sites).
• Talk about the Community Corps and give some ideas for how people
can help with vaccine efforts. As a reminder Reimagine Main Street is a
founding member of the Community Corps, and today we are announcing
hundreds of small business owners that have signed a pledge to be Small
Business Vaccine Leaders. These small business owners have pledged to do a
number of activities, such as getting the vaccine when it is their turn and letting
others know why they chose to be vaccinated, providing incentives to
employees to get vaccinated, and continuing to follow guidelines for masking
and social distancing.
We are also releasing the results of a survey tomorrow. Reimagine Main Street and
its partners theU.S Black Chambers, Inc., theUnited States Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce, andNational ACE fielded a national survey from February 3- March 23,
2021 , to fill the gap in insights into attitudes and preferences of small employers,
especially AAPI-, Black-, Hispanic- and Native-owned small businesses. Here are
the key takeaways that might be helpful as you prepare your remarks.
vaccinated, with AAPI and Black small employers most likely to act. Almost one
in five (19%) of all small employer respondents intend to mandate the vaccine
for their employees. More than one in four (45%) small employers plan to give
workers paid time off to get vaccinated, rising to more than half (53%) of AAPI
small employers.
Small businesses and their workers must rebound from the COVID-19 crisis so that
communities thrive and the benefits ripple throughout the economy. We are a multi-
stakeholder, cross-sector initiative focused on advancing and uplifting innovative
solutions to ensure that Main Street is at the center of our recovery. Reimagine· Main
Street is a project of Public Private Strategies.

Ginger Torres
PPE for Navajo First Responders
Phoenix, Arizona
Ginger Sykes Torres is Dine (Navajo), T6dich 'ii'nii (Bitter Water Clan) born for
Bilagaana. She was born on the Navajo Nation in Tuba City and raised in Mesa,
Arizona. Ginger is a graduate from Stanford University with a degree in the Earth
Systems Science Program.
Ginger is a certified environmental planner with a focus on land use, renewable energy,
sustainability, and climate resilience and has worked on projects for government
agencies, utilities and developers. Ginger has recently started her own small business,
Shikeyah LLC, for her environmental consulting work. Ginger currently serves as Vice-
Chair for the City of Phoenix Environmental Quality and Sustainability Commission and
is the Chair of the Commission's Urban Heat Island Subcommittee. She is also a
member of Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego's Rio Salado Advisory Committee which aims
to make the city an epicenter of sustainable development.
Ginger also serves as a grassroots advocate for issues affecting Native American
communities throughout Arizona. In March of 2020, Ginger co-founded the COVID relief
group PPE for Navajo First Responders to deliver critical PPE and sanitization supplies
directly to frontline workers on the Navajo Nation. Recently, Ginger has partnered with
the Navajo Hopi Covid -19 Relief group to develop a COVID-19 social media campaign
to encourage Navajo and Hopi community members to get COVID-19 vaccinations.
Because of her COVID-19 relief work, Ginger was named to Valley Leadership's Ready
Together Program to help find innovative ways to make an impact in Arizona's response
to COVID-19.
In the 2020 election, Ginger formed a grassroots initiative called Dine4Biden (Dine is
the Navajo word for Navajo) to help boost Navajo enthusiasm for the Biden/Harris and
Mark Kelly coordinated campaign in Arizona. The goal was to get Natives, both on
reservations and in urban areas, excited about the election and their power to make a
change. Ginger worked closely with the Biden/Harris campaign, local government
officials, and Navajo politicians, and community leaders on social media outreach and
organize a series of car parades to the polls in Phoenix and throughout the Navajo
Nation. Ginger continues to engage with state and national political organizations to find
ways to keep Native voters engaged all the time and to make sure that there are
resources at the local level to make sure that happens. She also serves on the
Maricopa County Democratic Party's Education Committee.
Ginger was selected as one of 31 honorees for the 2020 ''Phoenix Herstories" Project
by the Phoenix Arts &Culture and Women's Commissions. Phoenix Herstories was a
2020 centennial celebration of a woman 's right to vote and included video installations,
online photography exhibits, and curricular guides for schools.
As a high school student, Ginger was the first female to win a world title at the Heard
Museum'.s World Championship Hoop Dance Contest in 1997. Ginger's groundbreaking
style was the first to incorporate modern dance and gymnastics elements into the hoop

Hi Kimberly and Erin. Just wanted to follow back up on our request. Evaluation Only. Created with
Aspose.HTML. Copyright 2013-2020 Aspose Pty Ltd.cing on Monday called We Can Do This Live? The
program
Hi there- she's happy to lend her name to this. I'm heading on Mat leave later this week so the team on
cc will continue to see this through.
Of course. There is no rush for tomorrow. No need to be in the release- we can discuss later. I would
love to explain the program, answer your questions and talk about ideas of things we can do
tomorrow. Let's talk next week.
Can you let us know who else was invited to participate in this? If we're unable to lend our name to the
press release tomorrow, but we are able to participate down the road with the social activation you
mention, is that a possibility? Th inking through various scenarios as she is currently on set.
Just Goldberg and Al.onzo so far, although we have other invitations out today.
Unfortunately I can't send the White House press release ahead of time, but the news about the
Community Corps leaked out and Politico wrote about it yesterday. 1 am pasting the article
below in case it is helpful. Individuals who have committed so far are Wboopi Goldberg and
Cristela Alonzo. Thank you!
The Biden administration is creating a network of outside health experts and community leaders
charged with building trust in coronavirus vaccines, as the shots become available to the entire adult
population, according to documents obtained by POLITLCO.
The all-volunteer group- dubbed the Covid-19 Community Corps- would amplify the government's
vaccine messaging within their own communities, and lead on-the-ground efforts to combat skepticism
and misinformation.
The new program, set to be unveiled Thursday, comes as the administration's focus shifts from
expanding supply of the shots to ensuring people seek them out as soon as they're able.
HHS and the CDC will oversee the initiative, which will provide the volunteers with weekly factsheets,
FAQs and other talking po ints that they'd be expected to promote on social media and distribute within
their own networks.
The group's members will also participate in virtual events aimed at building vaccine confidence, and
eventually host their own vaccination drives, according to fact sheet sent to health experts and medical
surrogates.
"The Covid-19 Community Corps will be an effort to galvanize trusted messengers- doctors, nurses,
faith leaders, rural stakeholders, leaders across the country ln local communities - to encourage people
to get vaccinated," White House Covid response official Ben Wakana wrote in an accompanying
message obtained by POLITICO that encouraged them to become "found ing members."
Neither HHS nor the White House would comment on how many Corps members the admlnistratlon is
hoping to recruit, or who it has already slgned up.
But the effort is part of the administration's broader push to target specific vaccine-skeptical
populations and recruit messengers who can convince Americans to get the shots. Those messengers
are likely to include a range of organizations and people both inside and outside health care with ties to
key communities.
Polls show there is still stubborn resistance to vaccinations across various racial and ethnic lines,
including among African-Americahs and Latihos -as well as rural conservatives who may be less
ihclined to listen to Biden administration officials.
Federal officials have met privately for weeks with various community groups to discuss the vaccine
rollout and the resources needed to encourage people to get the shots .
The Corps' planned public rollout comes days after the government. debuted a broader "We Can Do
This" vaccination campaign designed to boost confidence with the shots. Corps members are likely to be
among the key faces of that effort.
The administration last week also pledged to funnel $10 billion from its $1.9 tri llion Covid aid package to
ramp up vaccinations in hard-hit and underserved communities and shore up t rust.

Hi Jamie. Thank you for writing back. A ll we are looking for tomorrow is to lend her name to
the White House press release, and then we would Jove to work with you over the coming
months to develop one great social media moment where we could have her interact with one of
our public health experts about the vaccine. \Ve would of course make that happen whenever It
worked with her schedule. One idea would be to have her do an Instagram Live with Dr. Fauci or
Dr. Corbett, the researcher who led the team that developed the vaccine.
We will rumounce the Community Corps membership at 6:30am tomorrow via a press release
from the White House, followed by a virtual event with Vice President Harris at 9:15 am. Groups
that wi ll be announced as members of the Community Corps include NASCAR, MLB, Faith in
Action, SEIU, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the American Medical Association. 202
groups have committed to join.
Vice President Hanis' team mentioned that they thought she would be a great member of the
Corps given her advocacy on so many important issues. We would .love to work with her on
vaccine education and outreach if she is interested.
Hi Kristina,
I hope this email finds you well. We work with Eva Longoria here and reviewed the below. Would love to
get a bit more information around what you'd be looking for from her, how she could be most helpful,
as well as other notable folks who are participating. Her production schedule is quite intense over the
coming months as she prepares to direct her first feature film so I'm not sure all of the items that were
included in the attached will be feasible. Please let us know soonest and we will share with her.
Thank you!
Thank you for the call Shawn. Attached is information about a program the White House will
announce on Thursday morning via press release, followed by a Zoom event with Vice President
Hanis- the COVID- 19 Community Corps. We are asking prominent Americans and
organizations from across the country to join the Corps and act as trusted messengers to reach
out to their memberships and communities with information about the COVJD-19 vaccine to
encourage Americans to get vaccinated.
We are at a pivotal point in the pandemic-- getting Americans vaccinated as quickly as possible
is the path out of this crisis. But to be successful, people must be ready and willing to roll up
their sleeves when the vaccine is available to them. We recognize the importance of people
across the country hearing from local voices and trusted messengers on the safety and efficacy of
COVID- 19 vaccinations and are asking prominent Americans to help us.
The Vice President's office specifically mentioned Eva Longoria as someone who they would
like to join
The request is to lend us their name tor the annotmcement, and then we would love to work
together on creative ideas to engage their followers in the coming months. One idea we would
love to explore with both of them is doing an Instagram Live with Dr. Fauci or Dr. Corbett, the
researcher who lead the team to develop the vaccine. We will send their teams weekly updates
on tbe latest scientific and medical updates, FAQs about the vaccine, social media suggestions,
infographics, factsheets with timely, accurate infonnation so they feel weJJ informed, but our
main request will be to build a few unique soc ial engagements with them.
Vice Presi dent Han-is is doing a Zoom to kick offthe Community Corps at 9:15am ET on
Thursday. If they would like to join we would of course love it. A few of the organizations that
have signed up to be announced on Thursday are NASCAR, Faith in Action, the American
Medical Association, and the Chamber of Commerce.
Sincerely,

HI-IS
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a national public
education campaign, We Ca11 Do This, to increase confidence and uptake in the COVJD-19
vaccines and encourage continued prevention measures, including mask wearing and social
distancing. Through the nationwide effort of consistent, fact-based public health messaging, the
campaign is designed to help Americans make informed decisions about their health and
COVID-19 to protect themselves and their communities.
We have reached a critical point in the pandemic- getting Americans vaccinated as quickly as
possible is our path out of this crisis. To be successful, Americans need to be ready and wiUing
to roll up their sleeves when the vaccin e is available to them. We recognize the importance of
Americans hearing from trusted messengers about the effectiveness and need to be confident
when it is their turn to receive the vaccine. We are asking everyone to help us end the pandemic
by reaching out to their communities to encourage vaccine confidence.
The COVJD-19 Community Corps is a nationwide. grassroots network of voices people know
and trust to encourage Americans to get vaccinated. More than three hundred key organizations
and thousands of 1ndividuals are joining the ranks every day to help iocrease vaccine confidence
and timely vaccination against COVID-19 in their communities. HHS provides all Corps
members with regular, timely public health information via a range of activities, from weekly
emails, to local and national events, to sharable social media and digital content.
Over the coming months, the COVID-1 9 P ublic Education Campaign Team at H HS along with
the COVID-19 Response Team at th e White House will be working together with prominent
members of the COVlD-19 Community Corps - organizations with large social followings,
celebrities and int1uencers- to host conversations with our national public health experts as well
as local medical professionals to answer direct questions about COVID-19, the vaccine, and
provide our target audiences with the information they need to ultimately decide to get
vaccinated. These engagements will constitute our "Sk1re the Mic' program and wiJJ allow us to
reach into targeted communities. Our goal w111 be to communicate directly and plainly w1th the
American public in the places where they consume content online: via content creators,
podcasters, Facebook groups, and more.

information and tools d1ey can use to encourage their friends, family, and community members to
get COVID-19 vaccination. The goal is to equip members to deliYer messages in the fight against
COVID-19 and share the importance of vaccinations in their community.
As a partner to the Biden-Harris Administration, we ask that all of our members sign-up to J:eceive
weekly up-to -date information from the COVID -19 Community Corps. You can sign-up ~lt

Challenge
• Vaccine hesitancy among parents was on the rise before COVID-19. One in four parents in the
United States reported in 2019 serious concerns about vaccinating their children (Pediatrics,
2019)Post-COVID hesitancy persists: Divides across age, political affiliation, education, & income
levels: Younger parents are more reluctant to vaccinate-27°/o of those ages 18-29 vs. 54°/o among
parents ages 45-54 (Yahoo/YouGov, April 2021 )39°/o of Black parents say they will "definitely" or
"probably" vaccinate their children, lower than Hispanic parents (53°/o), American Indian/Alaska
Native (AI/AN) parents (61 °/o), White parents (65°/o), and Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI}
parents (75°/o) (ParentsTogether, 2021)Democrats are more likely (61°/o) than Republicans (36o/o) to
have their children vaccinated; Independents are the least likely (25°/o) (Yahoo/YouGov, April
2021 )Households with annual incomes less than $50K are less likely (29°/o) than those with
incomes over $100K (63°/o) to have their children vaccinated (Yahoo/YouGov, April 2021)
Challenges
• Adolescent cohort lacks strong vaccine infrastructure-and faces immediate
barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. Parents and HCPs view vaccines as less of a
priority for older adolescents, competing with teen concerns like anxiety,
depression , online bullying, social pressuresConsent requirements can make it
difficult to vaccinate unaccompanied adolescentsSummer camp and sports
physicals starting soon-requirements could focus on other vaccinesChildren are
required for herd immunity: 22°/o of the U.S. population are under 18 years old
(U.S. Census, 2020)

Emergent Contamination
Did the contamination at Emergent impact the 150M doses the company already produced (62M of which are
J&J)?
• No doses have gone out to the American people from th is facili ty yet, and before any doses will be
released, th ere will be a thorough FDA review to ensure safety and quality.
• This is true of all EUA vaccines: nothing goes out to the public without FDA authorization, which follows a
rigorous review of safety and quality.
• J&J now has fu ll operational responsibllrty for this facllfty, and we worked w fth AZ to move their
production elsewhere t o focus the facflfty on one vaccfne alone to avoid any f uture mix-ups .
• As we have sa id before, the company continues to work through issues w ith FDA and nothing from this
faci lity would go out without FDA authorization.
What happened with the 15 million ruined doses and what are you doing about it?
• No vaccine manufactured at t he Baltimore facllity has been used in U.S. vaccination efforts so far,
because the faci lity has yet to be authorized by FDA.
• J&J is instal ling a new senior leadership team to oversee all aspects of production and manufacturing at
the Emergent facility.
• J&J will have fu ll responsibi lity for the operations, production, and manufacturing of the facility.
o J&J continues to work through manufacturing issues w ith the FDA, and no product wil l come out
of the Baltimore facility without authorization by FDA. This is a critica l part of ensuring quality and
safety of vaccine product.
• Johnson & Johnson does not expect this to impact their overall commitment to provide nearly 100 mi ll ion
doses by the end of May. And we are on track to have enough vaccine supply for all adu lts by the end of
May.
AstraZeneca
• In order for J&J to t ake full responsibility for the Baltimore facil ity, HHS worked with AstraZeneca to move
its production out, so the facility ca n excl usively focus on manufacturing J&J vaccine.
• Working closely with FDA, HHS determined Tt was most appropriate to limit the facility to production of
one vaccine.
• The administration is working with AZ to immed iately identify other facilities to continue their domestic
manufacturing of AZ drug substance, and several options o;~re under consideration.
How are you going to meet your goal of enough vocdnefor all adult Americans by the end of May?

Pace of J&J
What's up with the pace of J&J doses. Is there J&J specific hesitancy that needs to be overcome?
• We believe J&J is being well received across the country as a third effective and safe vaccine.
• This is not unexpected. We know that some states opted to spread out J&J distribution over a longer
period of time because we were clear w ith them that J&J doses wou ld be limited for the first few weeks"
• So, we will monitor how states and federa l partners perform in next week as supply has increased .
Vaccine Hotspots
More Allocation
Will you send more doses to hotspots?
• We're there to support states. And we are accelerating our vaccinations program.
• ff a state is experiencing a spike In cases, we (and CDC) are working with states to
A) Identify hot spots and factors contributing to these spikes
B) Assess mitigation measures lh place and amplify these measures
C) Examine the deployment of vaccinations across the state to determine tf changes are heeded to
reach hfgh ly impacted communities.
• For example, our team including CDC is engaged with Michigan's health team to help identify actions to
stop the spread including:
o Targeted vaccinations efforts,
o Increased testing resources,
o And additional mitigation strategies

• CDC has a responsibility to update its gu idance and inform the tens of millions of Americans w ho have
been fu lly vaccinated on the latest science showing what t hey can do safely,
• The evidence is clear: vaccines are effective. CDC has announced that travel for fu lly vaccinated people is
low risk.
o Within the United Stat es, fully vaccinated people can travel without COVID-19 testing or post-
travel self -qua rantine.
o Vaccinated t ravelers should cont inue to take COVID-19 precautions: wear a mask, avoid crowds,
socia lly distancing, and washing hands f requently.
• However, given the rising cases and spread of varia nts and the large num ber of Americans yet to be
vacci nated, the CDC Director continues to encou rage people to avoid un necessary travel at this moment.
o Past surges of COVID-19 cases in the US have followed larger surges in travel.
o New vi rus variants have spread globally and in the U.S. through travel.
• This is one of the many reasons to get vaccinat ed. Vaccines offers an opportunity to return to normal life.
We're working hard t o get everyone vaccinated as fast as possible, but we're not there yet - the vast
majority of people still need to be vaccinated. So now isn't the time to let down our guard.
Immigration
• We have been working around the clock, in coordination with HHS, to quickly move unaccompanied
children out of these crowded Border Patrol stations and into the care of HHS so they can be placed with
fa mily members or other sponsors.
• We deployed FEMA to help HH S quickly bu11d additiona l capacity to shelter unaccompanied ch ildren.
• We also developed and deployed a plan for HHS to more quickly place unaccompan ied children with
family members.

• Let me be clear: the border is not open, people should not make the dangerous journey, and we will
continue to expel Ind ivid uals and families.
Testi r~g
Why does DHS nottest all adults entering the country illegally?
• On t he vast majority of the southwest border - Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Ca lifornia - testing takes
place.
o We have ramped up partnerships with local NGOs to ensure testing takes place for migrants
entering t he country.
o Unaccompan ied Children crossing the border are processed through HHS facilities and tested .
o Migrants entering ICE facilities are tested, and they are quarantined if they test positive.
• DHS Is eager to get additional funding into the hands of the local public healt h officials in Texas.
o Our policy is to coordinat e with local governments and NGOs to ensure test ing for migrants is
available and that steps for Isolation, quarantining and medica l care can be taken should it be
needed.
Vaccine Verification
• Let me be clear, the government is not now nor will we be supporting a system t hat requires Americans
to carry a credential.
• There will be no federa l vacclnations database and no federa l ma ndate requirlng everyone to obtain a
single vaccinatton credent ia l.
• As these t ools are being considered by t he private and non-profit sectors, our interest is simple:
Americans' privacy and rights should be prot ected so these systems are not used against people unfa irly.
• If pushed:
o There have been questions raised about privacy, accessibility, and affordability, and our goal Is to
make sure that Americans' privacy is secure and protected.
Why ore you not doing more to stop states from reopening?
• Our advice is clear - now is not the time to let ou r guard down and relax proven public hea lth measures.
o We must recomm it to taki ng the steps we know work to prevent the spread as we continue to

reach high ly impacted communities.
• Bottom li ne, we need everyone to continue to be vigilant as we work to vaccinate the country.
• We know t he most important thing we can do is invest in trusted messengers across t he country.
• That's why we launched the COVID-19 Community Corps - our program to get fact-based messages into
the hands of local messengers - more than 2,700 organizations have signed up so far.
• We' re also investing $3B to states and community-based organizations to strengthen vaccine confidence
in the highest-risk and hardest hit communities. This funding could go to:
o Faith-based organizations t o conduct door-to-door outreach
o Commun ity health workers who do culturally-competent bilingua l hea lth outreach
o Disabil ity organizations to ensure people have transportation to sites
Reaching Conservatives
• The President's goal is to vaccinate all Americans, not just those who voted for him.
• We know we need to meet everyone where they are with trusted messengers, and that includes
conservatives. That's why we're engaged with:
o Faith Leaders: Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins hosted an event with evangelical leaders to discuss the
vaccine and how we can partner with them. Dr. Francis Coll ins has participated in The 700 Club.
Dr. Nunez-Smith hosted a faith leaders roundtable.
o Rural Leaders like the Farm Bureau .
o Doctors: Eighty~one percent of Republicans said they would trust their own doctor or hea lth care
provider to provide reliable information about a COVID-19 vaccine. That's why we' re engaged
with the America n Medical Association, Family Physicians Association, and American College of
Physicians.

• And to help meet conservatives where they are, we're expa nding mobi le clin ics in rural areas t o reach
people where they are.
Global
• However, as we get increasing confidence that we have enough vaccine, we will look at options for
sharing doses globally, including through COVAX .
• In the meantime, we've already ta ken significant steps. Under the President's direction, the U.S. has :
o Re-engaged with the WHO on Day 1.
o Comm itted to providing the most fund ing to COVAX of any other country in t he world - with $4 8.
This gives money to developing countries to purchase V<lccine.
o Annou nced with our Quad partners that we are working t o ach ieve expanded manufactu ring of

• What Is clear from our review thus far is that the report lacks cr-ucla l dat a, lnformatlon, and access. It
represents a partial and incomplete picture.
• We urge the WHO to ensure the second phase of this study commences without furt her delay, includ ing

• We will continue to work constructively with t he WHO and conti nue to focus on our mission at home -
encouraging Americans to mask up, socially distance, and get vaccinated as soon as it's your turn.
• The next phase of t his study must be swift, led entirely by a team of experts and conducted w ithout
int erference from China . Thei r access to original dat a must be guara nteed, and their deliberations must
be transparent, expert-led, and t imely.

• The ED fund ing covers a much broader set of services such as afterschool programs, tutoring, mental
health services, WiFi hotspots for students, and hi ring more teachers.
• Timing of when states can access the funds also differs-- ED funding comes In advance of a cost incurred
and FEMA is generally reimbursed only after the state/school pays for a product or service.
• While there is some overlap (both f und PPE, cleaning, and physica l barriers for example), that is by
design. It's a once in a century pandemic and states and schools need maximum flexibility to get kids back
in school.
FEMASites
• The sites are not dosing. States are taking over maintenance of the sites and t he federal government will
continue to pay for t he resources at each sites.
• We committed to these sites being in place for 8 weeks. We offered to extend the site beyond t hat 8
week period, for 4 addit ional weeks. A number of states have taken us up on that offer.

Website
Can you tell us more about the website? Why wait until May 1?

• And w e w ill lau nch a federa l webstte by May 1 When all Americans are eligtble. This websit e wil l help

Equity
Racial disparities are persistent in vaccine administration and getting worse. What are you doing about it?
• That's why we've set up channels to he lp ensure Black and brown communities have equitable access to

o Mobi le Units are meeting people where they are.
o Comm unity Hea lth Centers that serve 60% people of color, expanding eligibility to 85%
o Pharmacies in local neighborhoods. More than 25% of pha rmacy doses have been administered

o No one considered 200M shots In 100 days possible.
• Now, we will have enough supply for all Americans by the end of May.
o By April19, 90% of Americans will be eligible and 90% of Americans will be within 5 miles of a
vaccine.
• When we hit our new goa l, more than half of adu lts in Americans will have received their first shot.
o That's only about a month away.
Will you increase your average shots per day going forward?
• We are doubling our original goa l -- 200 million shots in 100 days.
• 2.5 million shots per day is a pace we need to maintain, and it's a record that we will continue to bui ld on .
• We may see an uptick in the average daily shots as supply continues to increase and states respond to the
President's directive to open up eligibility to all Americans no later than May 1.
Low Demnnd
• We're averaging more than 2.5M shot s per day. That is a strong pace and it enables to meet the

1 Dose vs 2 Doses
Based on CDC's new evidence that the first shot gives 80%. protection, shouldn't we just focus on getting 1 dose to
as many people as possible rather than the current strategy for 2 doses?
• No. It is vital that everyone get their second dose of the Modern a or Pfizer vaccines.
• While these new data on the effectiveness of the first dose are encouraging, we do not know the
durability of the protection after a single dose.
• We know t hat the second dose provides even greater protection and we want to make sure that people
get as robust an immune response as possible glven the rise in concerning va rl ants in the U.S.
• Importantly, FDA has authorized the two-dose vaccine series and has not authorized a single dose for
these vaccines.
• Final ly, the supply of available vaccines in the U.S. is ramping up substantially, allowing us to keep a focus
on getting as many people fu lly vaccinat ed as quickly as possible without having to postpone the 2nd dose.

Chief of Staff, COVID-19 Response
Department of Health and Human Services
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched a national public
education campaign, We Ca11 Do This, to increase confidence and uptake in the COVJD-19
vaccines and encourage continued prevention measures, including mask wearing and social
distancing. Through the nationwide effort of consistent, fact-based public health messaging, the
campaign is designed to help Americans make informed decisions about their health and
COVID-19 to protect themselves and their communities.
We have reached a critical point in the pandemic - getting Americans vaccinated as quickly as
possible is our path out of this crisis. To be successful, Americans need to be ready and wiUing
to roll up their sleeves when the vaccin e is available to them. We recognize the importance of
Americans hearjng from trusted messengers about the effectiveness and need to be confident
when it is their turn to receive the vaccine. We are asking everyone to help us end the pandemic
by reaching out to their communities to encourage vaccine confid ence.
·we hope to reach audiences who don' t follow our official accounts to spread the messages of
vaccine confidence. This is an opportunity for celebrities and influencers to connect with some of
the nation's leading public health e>..'perts and to h elp us reach our goal of communicating
directly and plainly with the American public on the topic of COVID-19 vaccination.
Specific Ideas on Ways the Entertainment Industry Can Help Build Vaccine Confidence
• Provide talent with information needed to join and support the We Can Do This
campa1gn.
• Connect talent with the resources needed to create engaging content that increases
vaccine confidence.
• I ntegrate We Can Do This into scripted a nd unscripted programm ing, if and when
possible.
• Allow characters from scripted programming to be used in high-quality content
promoting vaccine confidence.
• Donate production resources to expanding vaccine awareness.
• Work with talent to provide "giveaway experiences" (e.g. fan meet-and-greets) for those
who are vaccinated.
• Amplify artists social media posts on vaccine safety and receiving their vaccine. Lead your
teams or network to also post on social media about receiving their vaccine and the
importance of being vaccinated.
• Work with formal and informal artist networks to expand participation in the We Can Do
This Campaign.
• H elp artists who rely on live events for their art and livelihoods convey the message that
the soone r everyone's vaccinated, the sooner we can have concerts and shows again.
Over the coming months, the COVID~ 19 Public Education Campaign Team at HHS along with
the COVID-19 Response Team at the White House will be working together with prominent
members of the COVID-19 Community Corps - organizations with large social followings,
celebrities and influencers - to host conversations with our national public health experts as well
as local medical professionals to answer direct questions about COVID-19, the vaccine, and
provide our target audiences with the information they need to ultimately decide to get
vaccinated. These engagements wiJl constitute our We Can Do This: Live program and will allow
us to reach into targeted communities. Our goal will be to communicate directly and plainly with
the American public in the places where they consume content online: via content creators,
podcasters, Facebook groups, and more.

Statement of Purpose
Over the coming months, the COVID-19 Publi'c Education Campaign Team at HHS along with
the COVTD-19 Response Team at the White House will be working together with prominent
members of the COVID-19 Com.tmmity Corps- celebrities and influencers - to host
conversations with our national public health experts as well as local medical professionals to
answer direct questions about COVID- 19, the vaccine, and provide our target audiences w'ith the
information they need to ultimately decide to get vaccinated. These engagements wi.ll constitute
om "Share the Mic" program and will allow us to reach into targeted communities, defined as:
Our goal will be to communicate ditectly and plainly with the Ametican public in the places
where they consume content online: via content creators, podcasters, Facebook groups, and
more.
Cadence
Each week, we will set a goal of two or three "Share the Mic'' engagements targeting at least one
ofthese communities. We will report b&ck each week on our reach and impact.
Often, these will take the form of interviews, but we will also work directly with creators to
produce videos and written interviews as well.
Targeting
• White Conservatives: To reach this community, we will target Facebook communities.
faith leaders, and sports figures.
o Some examples:
• N ASCAR dti vers
• Faith Leaders
• Franklin Grabrun
• Joyce Meyer
• Joel Osteen
• Country music singers
• NFL players
• African American: We'll target African Americans of all ages with differing strategies.
However, we ' ll focus on creators, tiktokers, meme pages, and communities, leveraging
the equity angle of our work and the safety of each of our three authorized vaccines.
o Some examples:
• Latino: We'll engage Latinos of all ages via a variety of content creators, focusing on
Facebook and Tnstagram for an older demo, and then Youtube, celebrities and TikTok for
younger.
o Some examples:
• Pero Like (A Buzzfeed production with l million followers)
• Being Latino (a rneme fnstagram with 1 million followers)
• BadBunny
• Lele Pons·
• Young: For general audience young people, we wi II target endemic content creators, with
a particular focus on Youtube, and TikTok.
o Some examples:
• Tyler Oakley
• Charli Damilio
• Hank Green
• Glozeli Greene
• General: fn addition to the above audiences, we will seek to have a few wide-audience
digital engagements featming some of our more prominent sun-ogates and principals.
o Some examples:
• Michelle Obama Share the Mic with Dr. Walensky
• FLOTUS and Dr. WaJensky work with family bloggers to answer kids'
questions on COVID-19
Implementation
The Share the .Mic team will check in twice a week- at the top of each week to make sure all
engagements for the upcoming week are locked or almost locked and at the end of each week to
plan ahead for the following week's engagements and start to book doctors and influencers for
these conversations.
• The Share the Mic Team: Tanya Hamburger, K ristina Schake, Clarke Humphrey, Adrian
Saenz, and Ben Wakana
o Tanya, Kristina, and Clarke will lead on recruiting participants and coordinating
logistics sunounding the digital engagement with our public health experts or
other medical professionals and the celebrities or influencers with whom they ' ll
be speaking
o Adrian and Ben will lead on securing talent and medical professionals beyond our
national public health experts for these engagements
• Process:
o The team will meet on Friday's and all requests are submitted, Monday sent
through review process, and all is approved by Tuesday. This allows adequate
time to promote and uplift the event. The team will also meet Wednesdays for
check-in and updates on action items.
F ormats
• Live conversation or event via Facebook Live or Instagram Live or streamed live via
Zoom that can then be shared across HHS channels, the medical professionals' channels,
and the channels of the person sharing the mic.
• Pre-recorded conversation that the video team at HHS will edit and produce for
distribution on HHS channels, the medical professionals' channels, and the channels of
the person sharing the mic.
• Podcast appearances
• Op-ed or account takeover
Necessary Resources
In order to fully realize the potential of this program we' U need to ensure we have the capacity to
do the following:
• Edit videos - likely using a video producer within HHS or the White House if there is
absolutely no HHS capacity
• Produce graphics - likely using a graphic designer we can use to promote the events
ahead of time across our social channels
• Map out which celebrities and influencers appeal to our target audiences and which
medical professionals will be the best to pair with them- ideally working with someone
who has experience in social media with an expertise in potential talent we can tap for
these engagements
Metrics
Our goal with Share the .Mic events is to reach the audiences who don't follow our official
accounts. Therefore, we wm track total reach and video views for each event. We 'll work with
our celebrity and influencer partners to ensure they're reporting metrics back to us that we'll
collate and circulate internally on a weekly basis.
In addition, we plan to track success through the number of reg'istrations we receive after each
event for COVlD-19 Community Corps. After every event we will ask all viewers to take
specific action and be involved with receiving up to date information from the Department of
Health and Human Services by signing up at https://wecandothis.bl1s.gov/covidcmnmunitycorps
The goal is 5,000 sign ups after each event. If the influencer celebrity has a following of over
1OM, the goal is I 0,000-20,000 registrations. We will ask each celebrity/influencer/health expert
to post the event on their social media cha1mels to make the ask of their followers to join CCC.
Week of April 12
Ftiday, April 16, 3:00PM ET: Dr. Fauci doing TBD
