With the COVID 19 vaccination rate in Maricopa County currently at 42.4 percent, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and the City of Phoenix have announced the launching of two mobile vaccination units to reach out to city residents in “underserved areas” that face difficulty in receiving any of the Coronavirus medications.
These two mobile units had previously served going out to communities to conduct Coronavirus tests.
Commenting on the launching of this effort, Mayor Gallego stated:
“More than 40% of eligible Arizonans have still not been vaccinated. Sometimes, it’s because people can’t get away from work. Still, others don’t have easy access to transportation that would get them to established vaccine clinics. These innovative mobile units solve both problems. They empower us to bring vaccines directly to the people in our community who need them most.”
The following health care providers will help staff these two mobile units and administer the vaccine: Equality Health, Arvizu Advertising & Promotions, Premier Lab Solutions, Family Tree Healthcare, Vincere Cancer Center, and Phoenix Fire’s Baby Shots Immunization Program.
Thanking the providers and the City of Phoenix staff that had made this effort possible, Mayor Gallego said:
“The people of Phoenix are resilient. The same is true of our civil servants. They have shown a fierce dedication to keeping the public healthy.”
