For more than 30 years, the Alliance has guided efforts to substantially increase funding and focus for aging at the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration; built influential coalitions to guide groundbreaking regulatory improvements for age-related diseases; and created award-winning, high-impact educational materials to improve the health and well-being of older adults and their family caregivers.

“Vaccines are one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine. Trust in vaccines was integral to reducing infectious disease-related illness and death over the past century. In the middle of a pandemic, it is exactly a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine that will help bring life back to normal if people are willing to receive the vaccine because they have confidence in it. The COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project will address the skepticism that exists among many people and in many communities about vaccines. Our goal together is straightforward—to save as many lives as possible.” – Sue Peschin, President and CEO, Alliance for Aging Research

“We are proud to be a part of the COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project. Our objective is to get ahead of the misinformation about vaccines and help people understand that any vaccine that is rigorously researched and then approved by the Food & Drug Administration is going to be both safe and effective. Communities of color will be a priority in our education, and our aim is to quell doubt and grow trust. Older Americans should not be made to feel dispensable and hopefully our education will motivate them to get vaccinated so they can resume their lives.” – Karyne Jones, President and CEO, National Caucus & Center on Black Aging, Inc.
