The objectives of this program are to: Promote awareness about the state’s vaccine efforts; Publicize locations where the public may receive vaccines in their primary language; Increase access to vaccines in communities that have been disproportionately burdened by the COVID-19 pandemic; and Focus efforts in geographic areas and within demographic groups who are least likely to have access to vaccines services, health care, and/or have a high hesitancy towards getting a vaccine.
