Father Enrique Cadena with the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona rolled up his sleeve at a press event Wednesday along with other faith leaders to get his second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. He said he wanted to set an example for his community.
“I d like to invite all the Latino community especially to really put themselves out there in the line as soon as the vaccine is ready for them, Cadena said.
One in every seven Arizonans has now had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. But disparities remain when it comes to who’s getting shots. Vaccination rates appear to be especially low among Arizona’s Latino population.
