COVID-19 vaccine distribution site to be held Saturday in Houstonâs Fifth Ward article
HOUSTON - As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to spike, especially in the Houston area, local residents are partnering to hold a vaccine site this weekend in Fifth Ward to try and curb the spread.
The vaccine site will be held Saturday at the parking lot of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church on Lyons Avenue from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. but is spearheaded by the 5th Ward Islamic Center for Human Development.
Through partnerships with other local organizations such as COVID-19 Wall of Memories, Changing Hearts and Mind Program (C.H.A.M.P), Imam Jihad Muhammad of 5th Ward says in a press statement the event looks to help provide vaccine assistance to typically underserved areas.
