It can be challenging to sort through all the COVID-19 information out there, especially when this information is not equally accessible to everyone. The Sins Invalid Disability Principle, Collective Access, says that everyone must be included in ways that are accessible to them. Therefore, there must be inclusive, accessible information on COVID-19 for everyone.

In this post, we will focus on ASL information and provide a list of ASL COVID-19 resources. Many of the resources are from an ASL video series on COVID-19. You can view the entire YouTube playlist here.

Go to section: Vaccines | Testing | Prevention |Extra precautions and accommodations | Children and schools |Testing positive for COVID-19 | General resources

Vaccines

Getting vaccinated is important to protect ourselves and our communities from COVID-19. Below is a list of ASL information on vaccines, which covers overall information on vaccines and boosters, resources for getting your vaccines, and what to expect when you get vaccinated for COVID-19.

Testing

Testing is another important way to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Below is a list of ASL videos on how to get tested for COVID-19.

Prevention

There are other ways to protect yourself from COVID-19, including wearing a mask. Below is a list of ASL videos that describe other ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Some people may require extra precautions and accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as people who are at a higher risk of illness and people who are pregnant. Below is a list of ASL videos that include information on extra precautions and support different groups of people may need.

Children and School

It can be stressful to send your child to school during a pandemic. Below is a list of ASL videos to help you and your student navigate learning during COVID-19, along with videos on how to talk to children about COVID-19.

Recently the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 for children ages 5 to 11 years old.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends COVID-19 vaccinations in children ages 5-11 years old. Some children with disabilities and medical complexities may be at a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Families and caregivers are strongly encouraged to consider vaccinating children with disabilities and medical complexities.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has information on the COVID-19 vaccine in many languages, including American Sign Language, and audio-described videos.

MDH also has a guide about the COVID-19 vaccine specifically for family members and trusted supporters of children with disabilities. You can find it here: COVID-19 Vaccine for Youth with Special Needs or Disabilities: Information for Caregivers. You can find this guide in multiple languages here.

 

How to make getting the vaccine and information more accessible

Accommodations are possible, such as getting the vaccine in the car or a private room, dimmed lighting, and more. More information about accessibility and accommodations can be found here: Best Practices for COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination Sites: Disability-related Accessibility.

 

Where do I get my child vaccinated?

To find a location for vaccinations, visit the state of Minnesota’s webpage Vax for Kids.

If you have an older child (12 to 17 years old) that has been vaccinated recently, or will be vaccinated soon, you can also register to win prizes and scholarships.
