The United Methodist Church has made it a missional priority to educate people about the COVID-19 vaccines and to make the vaccines accessible to everyone. By providing people with information about the vaccines we are empowering them to understand how to protect themselves, their families, their congregations, and their communities.

In this video, Bishop Tracy S. Malone and Dr. Samantha Gunkelman of Akron Children’s Hospital have a conversation addressing facts and misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccines. The conversation is being offered as a resource to pastors, congregations, and faith communities of the East Ohio Conference so that we can make better informed decisions and choices and help to educate others.
