State Health Department Rolls Out ‘Vaccine Vans’ For Oklahoma’s Rural Areas
The state health department are rolling out a way to give out the COVID vaccine rural areas. Different counties are now using "vaccine vans" travel anywhere to give the shot.
"So, this is an opportunity to go to the community and go to the people we need to serve," Kristen Carollo with the Oklahoma State Health Department said. She said Oklahoma's rural areas have fewer vaccines options, so they're driving the shots to them.
"We are currently taking our mobile units are mobile vans out at different locations such as grocery stores maybe hotels or apartments or even at food pantries. This is so that way, people who might not necessarily want to make an appointment can still access the vaccine," Corollo said.
