Launched a campaign in the fall of 2021 to educate our community about the importance of protecting against COVID-19 and getting vaccinated. This local/regional campaign's goal was to provide access to vaccination to people in hard to reach communities or underserved in the San Gabriel Valley in greater Los Angeles. This included providing with all shots approved by CDC as well as booster shots during a time where a surge was taking place.
The problem:
Lack of education about vaccination and its positive effects in protecting our community.
Access, provide convenience to the community who may not have a means to travel to a clinic to get vaccinated, expanding our capacity, launching a pop-up clinic and offering public transportation access to help move people to take action.
Language barriers, launching a campaign that was bilingual - English and Spanish, speaking a familiar language that the community trusts.
The strategy involved key partnerships with community leaders and organizations that included:
A partnership with the City of Pasadena and their Public Health Department that included a public transportation campaign that included PSA banners that have been running for almost 6 months on city buses (Pasadena City fleet of almlost 30 buses that run throughout the city) as well as 26 bus shelters around the City of Pasadena, providing with a lot of visibility about the "It's Your Turn" campaing.
Another partnership with Westfield mall in opening in a pop-up clinic in the Santa Anita mall, catering to more people in the San Gabriel Valley, eleminating barriers that prevented people to get vaccinated. A lot of people in our community take buses and they were informed about where they could go to get vaccinated. At our clinics throughout the San Gabiel Valley (Pasadena, El Monte and Arcadia), plus our City of Pasadena Public Health Department clinics.
And lastly, collaboration with community leaders like Congresswoman Judy Chu and Supervisor Hilda Solis, who were intrumental ins helping us get the word out and boost our COVID-19 vaccination awareness efforts.
