Because of his hard work, Ostrosky was recently honored with the Trusted Messenger Award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ We Can Do This COVID-19 Public Education Campaign. The campaign is a national initiative to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines and educate the public about the availability of COVID-19 treatments while reinforcing basic prevention measures.
