April is National Minority Health Month (NMHM), a time to raise awareness about health disparities that continue to affect people from racial and ethnic minority groups and encourage action through health education, early detection, and control of disease complications.

This year's theme, Give Your Community a Boost, focuses on empowering people to get the facts about the COVID-19 vaccine – one of the strongest tools we have to end the COVID-19 pandemic that has disproportionately affected BIPOC communities.
