| 64. | Receive a presentation from Mi Familia Vota on their Get Out the Vaccine campaign. (For possible action)
Agenda note: DISCUSSION: The Board received a presentation from a representative of Mi Familia Vota, Cesia Alvarado, regarding the efforts and activities of the organization’s Get Out the Vaccine campaign to get the Latino community vaccinated in District D and E during the period of June 3 through August 10, 2021 as well as navigation through challenges that faced those communities; the representative stated that 10,029 doors were knocked on, 10,077 phone calls and 9,820 text messages were made, 19 vaccination clinics and two virtual community events were held, and 429 businesses were visited; feedback from the community concluded that the primary reason for the community’s low vaccination rate was due to barriers in accessing the vaccine rather than hesitance; barriers included lack of access to transportation, language barriers, time constraints, and prohibitive work conditions; constituents indicated that that the vaccine needed to be accessible and in trusted locations within the community, community trust was gained through personal vaccination stories and through the use of an appropriate messenger; UBER donated 100 free rides to assist with transportation to vaccination sites; it was learned that misinformation was a problem, and that the biggest challenge was inaccessibility to health care; partnerships were created through visits to businesses, as well as the SNHD and the Clark County Fire Department (CCFD); and a main takeaway from the campaign was that empowerment of the community empowered all.
In response to questions from the Board, the representative stated there was less hesitancy to vaccinate after personal experiences and conversations were held, misinformation was dispelled, and options for vaccine types was shared; and that a $100,000 grant enabled Mi Familia Vota to run the vaccination campaign through which more than 2,300 vaccinations were issued.
Commissioner Justin Jones encouraged the representative to reach out to Dr. Luis Medina-Garcia at UMC as a possible resource for future events, and to also contact the State, the City of Las Vegas, and SNHD regarding additional grant funds. | |
