COVID-19 Vaccination
“If One Group is Vulnerable, We Are All Still Vulnerable.”
.
Why Vaccination is Important:
- Whereever SARS-CoV-2 is spreading, there is the potential for new and possibly concerning variants to emerge- and these could be deadlier or more transmisslbe.
- Helps people develop immunity to a virus.
- Effectively protects individuals by preventing serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
- Slows cycle of transmission in population.
- Widespread vaccination helps limit spread of COVID through communities and will restrict the virus’s opportunity to continue to mutate into new variants.
- Offers a way to transition out of this phase of the pandemic.
Coalition OC and Member Health Centers
The Orange County Community Health Centers continue to provide COVID-19 vaccinations at their health center sites.
Additionally, many of our member health centers are also working with Community Partners; Elected Officials; Ethnic Markets; School Districts, etc to bring vaccine clinics to targeted communities. If an organization is interested in partnering with our member health centers in conducting a vaccine clinic, please contact Sonia Shah, Director of Programs at sshah@coalitionoc.org.
