The coalition worked with Vector Media to provide marketing on the buses and bus shelters throughout the County. We have focused this campaign on the importance of getting vaccinated in honor of National Immunization Awareness Month. This campaign ran throughout August. Below are the designs that are featured. The graphics provide a QR code to access resources through our website, ImmunizePA.org. Find these ads in areas like 5th and Spring St., Perkiomen Ave. and 19th St., 9th and Penn St., and at the Fairgrounds Mall in Berks County.
