About This Project

Customer need
The situation of individuals from minority populations in Florida, USA, continuing to get vaccinated against Covid-19 is one of the main concerns of health authorities.
In Florida, vaccination rates among minority populations are significantly lower than among non-Hispanic white individuals. For instance, according to data from the Florida Department of Health in early 2023, 63% of non-Hispanic white individuals aged 18 and older were fully vaccinated against Covid-19, compared to 43% of Hispanic individuals.
These disparities in vaccination have significant implications for public health. Unvaccinated individuals face a higher risk of contracting Covid-19, developing severe illness, and dying. Additionally, unvaccinated individuals can contribute to the spread of the virus, leading to new waves of infection.
SaluVax needs to increase its presence on social media to reach a wider Hispanic audience.
Campaign objectives
Increasing awareness of a new brand and its message about the importance of Covid-19 vaccination among the Hispanic community in Florida.
Specific Goals:
  • Recruit project participants from different churches, housing, and Neighborhood Centers in targeted counties. (113 unduplicated outreach contact per month).
  • Provide community outreach/mobilization to a total of 900 unduplicated Hispanic males and females aged 12 years and older in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties.
  • Conduct a minimum of 1 monthly culturally responsive health information session virtually and face to face to target the population in the catchment area.
  • Promote and distribute a minimum of 75 educational materials per month and document the type of materials given.
  • Conduct campaign to promote vaccination awareness in the community, via social media, such as Radio and Facebook live accordingly on a monthly basis.
  • Refer a minimum of 50 individuals to COVID-19 and flu vaccination per month.
To achieve these objectives, we implemented the following strategies:
  • Create a new, recognisable entity that will become familiar to the target audience (SaluVax).
  • Create relevant and engaging content for minority communities. This content may include information on the importance of vaccination, testimonials from vaccinated individuals from Hispanic minority communities, or stories highlighting how vaccination has helped protect communities
  • Use language and aesthetics that are inclusive and respectful towards Hispanic minority communities
  • Promote the campaign on social media platforms of organizations working with Hispanic minority communities
By implementing these strategies, the newly created entity, “SaluVax” can increase its presence on social media and reach a wider audience, particularly the Hispanic population in Florida. This will help disseminate the message about the importance of Covid-19 vaccination and contribute to reducing vaccination disparities.

This brand is committed to enhancing public health by making vaccines more accessible, advocating for preventive health measures, and promoting health equity. In an era where vaccinations are crucial, SaluVax aims to lead with solutions that bridge healthcare gaps and support a healthier future for all.
