The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Risk Less. Do More. public education campaign recently ended, and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journey and extend our deepest gratitude to the amazing partners who made it possible. Our partnerships with national and local organizations offered unique opportunities to reach older adults, health navigators, and other vulnerable populations to cultivate vaccine literacy, enhance vaccine accessibility, address vaccine hesitancy, overcome barriers, and protect our communities.
We couldn’t have done it without our partners! From the beginning, we had a shared vision to reach at-risk populations through a national, integrated effort. Through our partnerships, we hosted a variety of activities, including conferences, vaccine pop-up clinics, health fairs, media tours, venue activations, town halls, and webinars.

- 43,608+ Fact Sheets, Brochures and More Distributed.
- 258M Digital, TV and Radio Campaign Impressions.
- 832,000 Impressions Through Partner Sponsored Social Media Content.
We encompassed a comprehensive approach, and our partnerships helped us reach national and local communities to overcome barriers and address vaccine hesitancy. While this campaign has ended, the work is never over to protect the health of our communities.
