More access and more shots means a quicker recovery, and that s what we want, he said.
These CHC sites will be federally-funded and organized by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an effort to expand the CHC vaccine program, which works to increase vaccine availability and access in underserved and minority communities where access to vaccines has been a major challenge. Remember, one of the biggest issues with getting people vaccinated has been access, added Schumer. Especially in our underserved and disadvantaged communities. We ve heard numerous stories of people having to travel way too far to get a vaccine, hampering our ability to recover from the pandemic and return to normal. With this announcement of more vaccines and the sites poised to open up, New York is positioned to get more shots in arms, especially in areas where COVID has hit the hardest.
