DC Comics, WarnerMedia, and the Biden-Harris Administration are teaming up to help promote childhood COVID-19 vaccinations. DC will provide superhero-themed decorations and giveaway items to Children’s hospitals across the country for anyone that receives the COVID-19 vaccine.
Children aged 5-12 who receive their COVID-19 vaccination at a Children’s Hospital clinic in November and December will see specially created DC Super Hero themed posters, and receive DC-branded adhesive bandages, and Bendon coloring, and activity books as giveaways. This isn’t the first time WarnerMedia and the Biden administration have worked together as they also collaborated on the “Mask Up” campaign in February 2021.
“The DC Super Heroes have been symbols of hope, strength, and wonder to children of all ages for over 80 years,” said WarnerMedia Global Brands and Experiences President Pam Lifford in a statement. “We are truly honored to be supporting the real-life heroic work at Children’s Hospitals to promote childhood vaccinations against COVID-19.”
The First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden, along with Wonder Woman and Superman visited the Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston on Sunday, Nov. 14 to support the children receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a similar fashion, Marvel Comics kicked off a COVID-19 vaccine awareness campaign in August.
