The Autism Society Tidewater Virginia believes that improving the vaccination experience is a critical step towards achieving more equitable healthcare for people with Autism and all neurodiverse individuals. With support from the CDC and the Association of University Centers on Disabilities, our national organization, the Autism Society of America, launched the Vaccine Education Initiative (VEI) to address systemic barriers to care and promote vaccine education, confidence, and access. In 2023, the Autism Society of America became a proud partner of the Aging and Disability Vaccination Collaborative (ADVC), to increase access and uptake of vaccines with a focus on aging, BIPOC, Hispanic, LGBTQIA+, and rural populations with Autism and other disabilities. The Autism Society of America and its affiliates including the Autism Society Tidewater Virginia is dedicated to Health Equity. Through the VEI, we are working to address systemic barriers to care and promote vaccine education, confidence, and access.
Our affiliate, Autism Society Tidewater Virginia, is hosting an Accessible Vaccine Clinic with Sentara Health and most insurances are accepted please bring your information with you! The event will be February 1st from 10:00 to 2:00 PM at the FACT Autism Resource Center located at 3509 Virginia Beach Blvd, Virginia Beach, VA. This event is open to the entire local community!
