NORFOLK, Va. The Hispanic Resource Center of Coastal Virginia is signing up more people to register for the Covid-19 vaccine.
Hispanic Resource Center of Coastal Virginia Director Elizabeth Torres said Covid-19 and its vaccine doesn’t know race or citizenship. We are living in a pandemic this has nothing to do with your status, said Torres.
Torres and her members want to encourage people in the Latino community to stop living in fear and get the vaccine.
