About Get Vaccinated Chattanooga
To ensure Chattanooga’s underserved communities and those disproportionately affected by COVID-19 are equitably vaccinated against COVID-19, a coalition of community leaders from the philanthropic, private and public sectors launched Get Vaccinated Chattanooga, a vaccine education campaign funded by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation.
The six vulnerable populations that have been most disproportionately affected by COVID include:
- Black/African-American
- Latinx
- Older Adults
- Pediatrics/K-12/Youth
- Homeless/Re-entry
- People with Disabilities
The coalition believes that the COVID-19 vaccines should be available to everyone in every neighborhood throughout Chattanooga. And it requires intentionality, a commitment to equity and a collaborative effort to reach everyone. Together, we can build stronger immunity and a stronger community!

Throughout the months of July - September, organizers will remove any and all barriers by bringing information about the life-saving COVID-19 vaccines and the medical staff to administer the vaccines directly to children and adults in these designated neighborhoods.
