COVID-19 in Your Correctional Facility: Answers, Advice and Actions

AMEND has partnered with several organizations to create Information for Residents of Correctional Facilities: Frequently Asked Questions about the COVID-19 Vaccine. Please feel free to download this medical guidance about the vaccine and share widely with your networks. We also have an FAQ specifically made for correctional staff. If you have any questions about these resources or suggestions for how to distribute the information to those who are incarcerated, corrections officers, their loved ones, or others who may benefit from this guidance, you may contact us here.
