  2. COVID-19 Vaccine Resource Center. The AMA is featuring this prominently on our website to curate clinical vaccine guidance from the FDA, CDC and other health organizations to help combat vaccine misinformation. We will be frequently updating this resource.
    • We have built a multi-channel marketing communications #VaccinesWork campaign to provide physicians and patients with education and tools on the science and safety of vaccines. We urge physicians to take the pledge to #MaskUp and get the #COVID19Vaccine and get new materials pushed to their inbox as soon as they become available.
    • We have also produced, in partnership with the FDA and CDC, multiple What Physicians Need to Know webinars on the topics of vaccine safety, supply and distribution, which have reached thousands of physicians.
