We ve done testing, we ve done education, and now it s time to do the vaccinations, said Bishop Kelvin Simmons from Immanuel Praise Fellowship.
These trusted leaders are here to spread that message to fellow members of the Black community, who they say have been reluctant to get the COVID-19 vaccinations. We know that it was important to do the education part because I ll just be upfront with you, I was one of the ones that said I was not going to tell my congregation to do the vaccination,” said Bishop Simmons. It s imperative that no one or no group is left behind in these efforts, said Corwin Porter, San Bernardino County public health director.
