Vaccination Clinics
WHEN: April 2021
WHERE: DNATL and Humboldt
Throughout 2021, we assembled vaccination outreach teams of local leaders who used their insight on the local community to spread the word about the safety and availability of vaccines, and hosted vaccine clinics in both Humboldt and Del Norte counties.
In DNATL, our team knocked on over 200 doors and made over 400 phone calls. They also organized three vaccine clinics so far in which around 200 have been vaccinated and laid the groundwork for more pop-up clinics throughout the summer.
In Humboldt, we assembled an energetic team of four leaders who made over 800 phone calls and registered 300 people for vaccination appointments. They used their personal connections within the community to be a source of trusted information about vaccine safety and efficacy and get out the word about vaccination opportunities. The team also planned and executed a family vaccination fair with free tacos, a live DJ, a raffle, face painting, and more! More than 250 people showed up and we had over 100 people vaccinated.
