Great news on the J&J vaccine!

Meeting people where they are is critical to improving vaccine access and education.
Thrilled to see @McDonalds featuring vaccines.gov | @vaccinefinder on 50M coffee cups! I'm lovin' it.
As private sector companies join us in the fight against this virus, @McDonalds has announced that beginning in July, around 50 million of their cups will be designed to direct people to visit vaccines.gov for vaccine information when they grab coffee or order a meal.
