The Sarva Mangal Family Trust, Joy of Sharing, Sahara and Saahas for Cause â all Southern California-based Indian American nonprofits â joined hands with Parth and Yuchita Parikh from Pico Care Rx to set up and run a COVID-19 vaccination camp at the Sanatan Dharma Temple in Norwalk, Calif., March 27.
Over 675 persons were vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine through a streamlined process that included early web registration, onsite check-in, vaccination and 15-minute resting.Â
A campaign was devised with the support of over 25 South Asian organizations to spread the word prior to the vaccination camp.
The camp was successful as they not only were able to vaccinate people belonging to South Asian minorities and other groups, but had to turn away 50 people as Pico Care had already hit their target for the day, said a press release.
