When Covid-19 hit Detroit, Bishop Edgar Vann had to close up his sanctuary, the venerable Second Ebenezer Church.
His duty became to use his voice to preach not only the word of God but also the gravity of the coronavirus.
Vann was enlisted to aid the city s Health Department in February to get hesitant residents, largely African American seniors, vaccinated. The virus, he said, has had a brutal impact on the city, and marrying public heath with worship felt natural. I felt an obligation toward making sure that I would not only reach to my congregation but I would also reach beyond my congregation to a much broader influence that I have in the community, Vann, who has been a pastor at the church for 44 years, said in a phone interview.

Mississippi native Pam Chatman saw this need for an increase in vaccinations around her community of Cleveland, Mississippi, and began creating the Vaccination Transportation Initiative.
The VTI program is a call for action to assist families across the Mississippi Delta to get vaccinated without worrying about transportation to get to the closest clinic.
