Candace Thompson collaborated with West Dallas leaders to open the vaccine site.
“I think it reaches more people because it helps overcome the barriers that accessing the vaccine presented in the first place,” said Community Outreach Manager for Baylor Scott & White Health and Wellness Center, Candace Thompson.

A lot of our areas are walking communities too, so just because a vaccine clinic is offered in West Dallas, doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be two or three offered just to provide that accessibility,” said Executive Director for the Wesley-Rankin Community Center, Shellie Ross.
