San Francisco unveils prayer rooms at high-volume vaccination sites during Ramadan
By Lisa Fernandez
SAN FRANCISCO - Waiting in line for a vaccine can sometimes take a bit of time.
So the San Francisco health department, along with District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney and Human Rights Commissioner and Interfaith Council Board Member Hala Hijazi, decided to open up prayer rooms at high-volume vaccination sites during Ramadan for Muslims who are fasting and praying during their holiest month. Equity and access to critical services by underserved and vulnerable populations have led to increased trust within our diverse communities and with the City, Hijazi said in a statement. Whether we are providing food vouchers to residents in the Tenderloin or safe places to get vaccinated and pray during these difficult times, we are meeting the needs of our communities where they live, work, play, and pray.
