The **COVID-19 Community Corps** was an American propaganda initiative led by the [United States Department of Health and Human Services](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-States-Department-of-Health-and-Human-Services) (HHS). It was formed in April 2021 in order to recruit influential individuals and organizations to promote [COVID-19 vaccines](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine). It was part of the [HHS COVID-19 Public Education Campaign](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/HHS-COVID-19-Public-Education-Campaign).

## History

HHS announced the formation of the COVID-19 Community Corps on April 1, 2021.[\[1\]](#fn1)

On April 19, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking records about the Corps.[\[2\]](#fn2) After HHS failed to respond, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit to compel the lawful release of the requested records.

Over a year later on October 4, 2022, Judicial Watch announced that it received 249 pages of records from HHS.[\[3\]](#fn3)
