CDC created this toolkit for partners – including state and local health departments, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and community outreach groups – to provide timely, effective, and culturally appropriate COVID-19 messaging to serve those who live, work, and travel along the United States-Mexico border.

This toolkit helps partners share CDC resources and content with their community, as well as develop their own COVID-19 materials.
