The @FEMA response teams deployed to community vaccination centers are committed to helping everyone, including those with access and functional needs. Using technology such as a Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) we can communicate with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.
The likelihood that you'll suffer long-term complications from Covid infection is way higher than any theoretical risk there might be from vaccines.

We recognize that women and girls are disproportionately affected by disasters, often due to societal norms. Around the world, LDR walks with women during disasters. Women also accompany survivors through the recovery process. We honor these women today and every day! #IWD2021
