Vaccinate: Posters From The Covid-19 Pandemic

We had the opportunity to invite artists to join this project as part of a supplement grant to our National Institutes of Health-funded initiative, Worlds of Connections. After our team sought submissions during fall 2021, a committee of six advisors, with backgrounds in epidemiology, public health, veterinary medicine, sociology, graphic art, and comic art, selected 34 out of 66 pieces. We commissioned 10 additional works from comic artist Bob Hall, who was the lead artist of C'RONA Pandemic Comics (University of Nebraska Press 2021), and two from Ho-Chunk multidisciplinary artist Henry Payer. The submissions are the handiwork of artists from across the United States, plus one from Mexico. They come from artists young and old, from many walks of life and diverse professions.Art can disrupt what is embedded in our minds and open us up to new perspectives and insights. We hope to offer access to images, insights, and knowledge that help people have the freedom to consider their role in the pandemic and the role of vaccines. We hope that experiencing the creativity, humor, and sentiments of artists will encourage those who have avoided the COVID-19 vaccine to reconsider and take advantage of a way to prepare their immune system should they be exposed to the virus. We are thrilled to provide the posters for those who want to enjoy, reflect, and share them with others who are inspired by the power of vaccines and who want to help stop the spread of deadly viruses.
