As mass vaccination winds down, on-the-ground efforts to get shots in arms continue.
We speak with Dr. Michelle LaRue of CASA, a nonprofit that works to expand opportunities for Latino and immigrant people. She describes barriers that discouraged Latinos from getting vaccinated, and the success of pop-up clinics across the state.
Then, Rev. Dr. Terris King, pastor ofLiberty Grace Church of God in Baltimore, says outreach is not about talking people into getting the shot but providing a place for open conversation.
Educators for Equity’s Vaccine Hunters/La Caza Vacunas also has pivoted from tracking down appointments to organizing clinics. Information here.
