First Baptist Dallas now among churches hosting COVID vaccine clinics
Dr. Robert Jeffress says millions of Christians have prayed for an end to the pandemic and that God s answer sometimes involves science. Author: Kevin Reece Updated: 6:37 PM CDT May 12, 2021
DALLAS In a bid to fight vaccine hesitancy among evangelicals and Christian conservatives, First Baptist Dallas, in partnership with Dallas County, will host a COVID-19 vaccination clinic this Sunday. I m not a doctor but I trust the Christian doctors in our church who are very enthusiastic about this vaccine, said senior pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress in an interview with WFAA.
Dominique May was one of the hundreds of people who got their second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Friday at the church’s pop-up drive-thru vaccination site.
“This is way better because I’ve heard stories of people having to wait in line like three hours, like you’re waiting for Jordans or something. But this is way more convenient. This is a great place to get vaccinated,” May said.
Project Unity’s Together We Vaccinate program will expand to West Dallas, DeSoto, and other places to reach underserved and vaccine-hesitant areas.
“I think the fact that there is hesitancy, and there is a slow down means that you’ve got to be more grassroots. You’ve got to work harder, and you don’t just advertise. I think you have to literally partner with those who have feet on the ground,” Butler said.
