View Comments New teams will hit the streets in Flint and surrounding Genesee County communities in a grassroots effort targeting people in underserved areas to get them signed up for a COVID-19 vaccine. The teams will target neighborhoods and high-traffic areas, such as stores, with a goal of generating at least 50 enrollments per person, per day, at various vaccination sites, organizers announced Wednesday. This new effort in Flint aligns with what we are seeing nationally. Public health authorities across the country are responding to the challenge of getting COVID-19 shots in arms by shifting efforts away from mass vaccination sites and focusing on communities with lower vaccination rates, said Eli Isaguirre, stakeholder engagement coordinator with the Protect Michigan Commission. The commission  serves in an advisory capacity to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to help devise strategies to overcome vaccine hesitancy
