By highlighting real stories of vaccinated seniors and providing access to the city’s Covid hotline, the initiative aimed to increase trust and accessibility. The campaign successfully reached over 100,000 seniors, with 76% of Chicagoans aged 65+ having received at least one dose. Key outcomes included a 12% increase in Latinx vaccination rates and a 15% rise in Black and White seniors’ uptake. The initiative emphasized community engagement and personalized support to overcome vaccine hesitancy.
