“Hola, ¿ha sido vacunado?”
This simple question Hello, have you been vaccinated?” repeated by volunteers from Lawyers for Civil Rights, stationed outside the Veronica Robles Cultural Center, proved to be the key to vaccinating approximately 50 individuals in East Boston on April 26, 2021. Through a partnership between the Greater Boston Latino Network, the Veronica Robles Cultural Center, the City of Boston, and the Consulates of Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras, this clinic provided a total of 150 vaccinations a third of which were administered to walk-ins within a predominantly Spanish-speaking community.
