Leimert Park residents offered incentives to get vaccinated
Published
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County officials continue to offer a variety of incentives to get people vaccinated, with their latest efforts targeted people in the Leimert Park area.
Officials say only about 58.7% of Leimert Park residents over the age of 16 have been vaccinated so far, and Saturday s focus was particularly on young Black men, who have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the county.
Small businesses in Leimert Park received $200 for displaying posters in their storefronts, and everyone who got vaccinated Saturday at a Community Build location received a $25 American Express gift card. Barbers who referred customers to vaccination sites received a $25 American Express gift card for each person who successfully gets vaccinated as a result.
Mayor Eric Garcetti, County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas and state Sen. Sydney Kamlager, D-Los Angeles, attended a news conference at a COVID-19 vaccination clinic hosted by St. John s Well Child and Family Center to highlight the campaign.
“We still have about 4 million residents in Los Angeles County that are not yet vaccinated, and risk of increased spread of the Delta variant remains high. This is why it s so important that we are here in Leimert Park and that we continue to do all we can to reach Black and Latinx communities who are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, Mitchell said.
