GET VACCINATED!
This is an ongoing campaign designed to provide secure and trustworthy information to the Latino Community regarding COVID-19 and flu vaccines. By providing education, information, and access, we hope to support the Latinos of East Tennessee (regardless of migratory or health insurance status) in staying up-to-date with vaccines and helping to prevent the spread of disease. Centro’s Health Promoter hosts monthly Facebook lives sharing updates on these topics and more, plus tips for accessing local resources related to COVID-19 like vaccines, test kits, and methods of prevention.
