Find a Topic
The best way to stay safe and get back to the friends, family, and activities we love most is by getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Even though everyone ages 5 and older is eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19, many young people still have not gotten their COVID-19 vaccines. By sharing your creativity, you can help protect your community!
Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to create a video or a piece of artwork to address misinformation and encourage your friends, family, and Pasadena community to get their COVID-19 vaccine. Video and artwork submission topics can include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Why is it important to get vaccinated?
- Myth vs. Fact (As an extra challenge, try to make your entire video without mentioning the myth!)
- What made vaccination against COVID-19 right for you and your family?
- What are you looking forward to doing after you are fully vaccinated?
- How did you feel when you got the vaccine?
Visit https://www.cityofpasadena.net/public-health/covid-19-vaccine/ to learn more about the COVID-19 vaccines and how to get vaccinated.
