Mission 6

Statewide Day of Action | Mission Details

Hello + welcome to our 6th collective mission!

⛑️ How to support: Choose any or all 3 of the mission actions to support the "It’s Our Shot, Virginia: Statewide Day of Action."

Research shows that social norms have a major impact on people’s attitudes + behaviors regarding their health. We know people are more likely to get a vaccine when they see many people they trust are doing it. Whether you say it out loud or through a social media frame/meeting background, announce your vaccination status for all to see. 

📲 To be featured in our Mission 6 recap, please provide your feedback + let us know how you share. Your insight + ideas help guide future efforts. (Feedback form is now closed for Mission 6)

3. CONVERSATION SUPPORT

Once we are vaccinated, the job is not quite over. The mission that continues is to share our stories + encourage others to get their vaccine. Here are four tips to support you while you support others. 

• Remember, it starts today. Continue using these tips for ongoing conversations.

• Ask honest questions + listen more than talk.

• Be sincere - both in sharing your reasons for getting vaccinated + your hope for wishing others would as well.

• Ask permission to share information. You can always offer to follow up with answers to their concerns/questions through CDC, VDH or other trusted sources.
