This Is Our Shot Project
Manufacturers in the United States are committed to ending the pandemic. This is our COVID-19 Vaccines Resource Hub to help us all get armed against COVID-19.
This Is Our Shot
Now that vaccines for COVID‑19 are available, getting manufacturers—and more Americans—to receive their shot is one of the most important steps toward ending the pandemic, getting back to life and powering recovery and renewal. To accomplish this essential mission, the National Association of Manufacturers and The Manufacturing Institute—the workforce development and education partner of the NAM—are providing the resources below to ensure that manufacturers, their teams and their communities know that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective and available.
#ThisIsOurShot. We can get through this pandemic, but only if we roll up our sleeves and get armed against COVID-19.

Get a Vaccine, Wear a Ribbon!
If one American isn’t safe from COVID-19, we’re all not safe. So the Yellow and Red Ribbon Initiative–encouraging manufacturers and all Americans to wear or display yellow and red ribbons after they’ve been safely vaccinated–is about showing we support (yellow) and care (red) for each other. Join this national movement to rally the country and end this pandemic.
