It was formed in April 2021 in order to recruit influential individuals and organizations to promote [[COVID-19 vaccines]]. It is part of the [[HHS COVID-19 Public Education Campaign]]. ===== History ===== The HHS announced the formation of the COVID-19 Community Corps on April 1, 2021.((//U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Launches Nationwide Network of Trusted Voices to Encourage Vaccination in Next Phase of COVID-19 Public Education Campaign.// (2021, April 1).
