HARRISBURG (Newsradio 100.1 FM and AM 1020 KDKA) --- Pennsylvania Department of Health is partnering with Latino Connection and Highmark Blue Shield to launch a statewide COVID-10 mobile vaccination clinic to provide vaccinations and education to minority and underserved communities.
"The department has worked across state agencies and with external partners, including Latino Connection and Highmark Blue Shield, to identify vulnerable populations for whom receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is especially critical," Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. "This partnership is another successful example of our health equity efforts to ensure Pennsylvanians, no matter where they live or what language they speak, will have access to COVID-19 vaccinations. It also will help combat vaccine hesitancy, as trusted nurses will be able to provide patients with factual, take-home educational materials about the COVID-19 vaccines."
All units will be equipped to give COVID-19 vaccinations on-site and will educate the public on staying healthy and safe.
