If the people don’t come to the vaccine, the vaccine will come to the people. The first mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics have been in operation in New York since Wednesday. Each vaccination bus can accommodate up to six people at a time, around 200 people are to be vaccinated here every day. The authorities want the buses mainly to travel to the poorer areas of the metropolis. And thus reach people who have previously been overlooked. Giovanni Martinez is one of the organizers: “All the creative people have come together here to find a way to get vaccines right to the neighborhoods where they are most needed. And to get the vaccine into their arms. Because vaccines are the way to bring New York back to our beloved city. Also, there are areas where people may not be able to travel as much, where resources are a bit more limited. Communities where there is also suspicion. We want to show that vaccines come to you. And instill confidence in the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. In this case, especially for Johnson & Johnson. ” In the first weeks of the vaccination bus campaign, restaurant employees and suppliers in particular are to be vaccinated. Many of them have no papers. Information on vaccinations is available in 12 languages. The offer has already been well received in Brooklyn. There people stood in line to get an appointment.
