WORKING TOGETHER TO REDUCE THE TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19

In 2020, healthcare and educator partners in Santa Barbara County came together to educate, unite and incentivize all of Santa Barbara County to join Masked and Mighty to work together to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, reopen more businesses, keep the population healthy, keep hospital beds open, and get our kids back to in-person school.
‍
Masked and Mighty is now Vaxed and Mighty because we know vaccines make us stronger.

‍ Vaxed and Mighty Coalition members include the County of Santa Barbara, Sansum Clinic, Cottage Health, the Santa Barbara County Education Office and local school districts, Santa Barbara City College, Westmont College, University of California, Santa Barbara, Neighborhood Clinics, Lompoc Valley Medical Center, Lompoc Valley Pediatric Care Center, CenCal Health, and the Central Coast Medical Association. Together, the Masked and Mighty Coalition is conducting a public education campaign to share key messages to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

 Vaxed and Mighty is geared for audiences of all ages, in multiple languages to engage all Santa Barbara County communities, including local people, local imagery, and locally developed videos on why we wear masks and get vaccinated. 

The “Mighty” piece of the campaign emphasizes safety precautions such as social distancing, good hygiene and a myriad of other interventions people can take in addition to the use of face coverings to keep our community safe and healthy.

In addition to the advertising campaign there are many ways in which residents can support the Vaxed and Mighty Coalition throughout Santa Barbara County:
