About Us
Latinos Unidos for Vaccines is a national coalition of immunization partners and stakeholders dedicated to eliminating vaccine and health equity disparities for Latino, Spanish-Speaking and Immigrant communities. Originally founded in 2022, Latinos Unidos for Vaccines is a joint initiative between Julissa Soto Latino Health Equity Consulting and the Kansas Immunization Coalition, a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to eliminate vaccine and health equity disparities for Latino, Spanish-Speaking and Immigrant communities by facilitating stakeholder collaborations; compiling and disseminating data, training, best practices and program opportunities; and developing and advocating for effective public policy. We envision Latinos Unidos for Vaccines as the national hub for immunization and vaccine stakeholders serving and addressing the needs of Latino, Spanish-Speaking and Immigrant communities.
Inclusive Collaboration
Latinos Unidos for Vaccines brings together clinicians, consultants, linguistic experts, CBO’s, public health officials, community workers, Promotoras, faculty and community organizations to share resources and best practices to increase vaccine and health outcomes for Latino, Spanish-Speaking and Immigrant communities.
Accessible Programs
We believe vaccines and health equity means ensuring all ages are served and that stakeholders are aware of and utilize existing local, state and federal programs while creating new community-based strategies and interventions as needed.
