Advocates Say Pacific Islanders Should Be On Hawaii’s Vaccination List. Here’s Why
Service providers fear Hawaii’s vaccination effort is failing to reach Pacific Islander communities that have been hit hardest by the coronavirus.
Eola Lokebol, a Marshallese interpreter, feels like she has déjà vu.
When the pandemic hit Hawaii last year, she was flooded with calls from families asking for her help in finding COVID-19 tests and figuring out how to quarantine. Now her phone is ringing with calls from Marshallese-speaking families who want to get vaccinated but don’t know how.

COVID-19 Resource Page in English
In Hawaii, many families have struggled to access affordable coronavirus testing, a place to quarantine, food during quarantine and other help. We created this guide to help hard-hit communities access much-needed resources.
Hotlines:
All state-funded services are required to provide interpreters upon request. But often they aren’t available right away. That’s one reason why We Are Oceania set up its helpline to help Pacific Islanders who need information about COVID-19.
We Are Oceania’s helpline 808-913-1364 connects callers with community resources and offers help in Chuukese, Marshallese, Kosraean, Pohnpeian, Yapese and Samoan.
