Good morning and welcome to the TimesOC newsletter.
It’s Wednesday, May 12. I’m Carol Cormaci, bringing you the latest roundup of Orange County news and events.
Arguably the most pressing challenge of this past pandemic year has been for those who set healthcare policy, hand-in-hand with those who carry out programs associated with those policies, to fully inform the public of safe practices, vaccination offerings and resources that are available to them.
In Orange County, where the Latino population has been hit especially hard over the course of the COVID-19 crisis, outreach efforts have become critical.
My colleague Lilly Nguyen looked into a local program, a group of bilingual workers who are going door-to-door to connect lower-income families, many of them Latino, with services such as mental health or rental assistance, food resources and, more recently, to share information on COVID-19 and how to get the vaccines if they’re interested.
Cars rumble down the road. Distantly,
banda music spills out the open windows of a ground-floor apartment. The playground is empty, with all the children having returned to their classrooms.

It is time to make their morning rounds.
Shoes hit the pavement, and before they even start heading up the staircases of the nearby apartment buildings, before they make their way into the narrow corridors, the group of four approaches passing residents to ask: Have they had the COVID-19 vaccine yet and, if not, do they know where to get it? Do they have any concerns?
