East Side churches are working with a local pharmacy to bring COVID-19 vaccines to the community

Church leaders say community members— and themselves— were hesitant about the vaccines at first.
“There’s still a lot of hesitant people. As a matter of fact, I was one of the hesitant people,” said Pastor Patrick Jones with Greater Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church. “I had no issues and no problems.”
Now, Jones is encouraging others to get vaccinated by working with other churches to host pop-up clinics.
“We have retired nurses, we have pharmacy techs. We have all of the people who worked in the medical professionals who are willing to help to put on the clinics,” said Raymond Bryant, Presiding Elder of the San Antonio District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
