(BPRW) The NAACP encourages Black communities to safeguard their children by getting vaccinated in honor of National Minority Health Month.  

During National Minority Health Month, the NAACP urges Black populations to ensure the health and well-being of our children by making sure they are fully vaccinated. National Minority Health Month is a time to acknowledge the heath differences that exist in our neighborhoods and to increase cooperation in efforts to advance long-term wellness and prevent disease. We may move even more into the energy of prevention and social well-being at a time when we are seeing severe cuts to public health funding caused by careless and dishonest leaders. Immunization is a common responsibility, not just a personal decision. Dr. Chris T. Pernell, Director of the NAACP Center for Health Equity, stated that “vaccination is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect our children and our populations from dangerous and incurable conditions.” Making protection a goal, we must recognize our right to health and our duty to one another. We can’t manage to get misled by propaganda or drawn into political posturing because we have previously been left behind by the medical system. This is how we can prevent our legacy. We must work right away to stop further reduction because our children deserve entry to science-based care. We advise parents and caregivers to seek the advice of reliable medical professionals and make sure their kids are up to date with all the vaccine recommendations. For all Black neighborhoods, the NAACP will continue to advocate for more equitable access to healthcare and better public health expenditures. Because we have the power to control our wellbeing, and it is our duty to protect it.
