Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce the availability of The Arc of New Jersey's COVID-19 Vaccine Video for Individuals with I/DD. It is a free, short video, prepared to help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) know what to expect when they are able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The narrator of the video is Barbara Coppens, an extraordinary self-advocate who has received recognition in New Jersey and nationally, from The Arc of the United States, for her many years of advocacy on behalf of all individuals with I/DD. To view the video, please click here: https://vimeo.com/500239609/5dbb677d73
The Arc of New Jersey has been working tirelessly to advocate for individuals with I/DD in New Jersey to be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, as of mid-January 2021, the COVID vaccine has been more difficult to access than had been anticipated. As soon as additional information on access to the vaccine for New Jersey individuals with I/DD is available, we will distribute it.
To see up-to-date information on the COVID-19 vaccine, including recent updates from the Division of Developmental Disabilities, please click here:
We encourage you to share this new vaccine video with others who may also be interested.
Thank you,
Bev
