Trusted messengers who came from these very communities.
 
The campaign, starring Spike Lee and directed by Tyler Mitchell, saw the Academy Award winner visit his own Brooklyn block to make the spot. Next, we created a social media content series, with doctors, local personalities and community advocates who established trust and credibility. Demonstrating that when communities and companies come together, they can help close the inequality gap for everyone to get their shot, regardless of their address, income or skin colour.
