SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- Orange County is counting on its community partners to vaccinate Latino seniors most vulnerable to COVID-19 and address immunization disparities.
On Friday, Santa Ana and Anaheim seniors shared their stories with Eyewitness News of loved one after loved one lost to COVID-19.
Lidia Rizo said in Spanish that she was nervous about getting her shot Friday morning at AltaMed in Anaheim, but she was motivated after losing her brother-in-law and three friends.
Rebeca Hernandez was at a vaccination site at Valley High School Friday. Her husband was recovering after being hospitalized. Hernandez's eyes teared up as she said in Spanish, "My brother, God took him because of this."
