Pop Up COVID Vaccine Clinics Are A Hit Among People Sometimes Considered Vaccine Hesitant
Share
When word went out that the Brazilian Worker Center in Allston was offering COVID-19 vaccines to the local community, 800 people called in hopes of getting one. But there were only 200 vaccine doses available.
The Roxbury-based Whittier Street Health Center set up the pop-up clinic with the goal of getting vaccines to people in this immigrant community, who are often considered vaccine hesistant. In reality, advocates said the high level of interest indicates people here want the vaccines but often don t have the time or means to get to a vaccine clinic.
