LOS ANGELES, May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/
St. John s Well Child and Family Center, the largest healthcare provider in South and Central Los Angeles, has teamed up with COVID-19 relief nonprofit
Stop the Spread, to launch an innovative program that leverages vaccination appointments to connect the city s most vulnerable residents with healthcare and social services.
The Vaccine+ initiative launched this week at two vaccination sites run by St. John s in South L.A. largely serving low-income communities of color. The program utilizes the 15-to-30-minute monitoring period directly following the vaccination as an opportunity to connect and reconnect individuals to the healthcare system and community-based organizations to serve needs such as benefits navigation, food assistance, and mental and behavioral health.
