COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs for The Construction Industry
In collaboration with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), CPWR has developed several resources to help the construction industry understand the science and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine. Chief among them is a list of Vaccine FAQs, but the page also includes a number of infographics. These resources will be updated as new research and information becomes available.
