LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), minorities have some of the highest coronavirus hospitalizations in the country. On Wednesday, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and the Black Clergy teamed up to hold a vaccine clinic for minorities in the community.
Over 250 people received the vaccine. Organizers said there was a sense of relief on people’s faces after they got the shot.
“This is us trying to afford an opportunity for those that are willing to take that opportunity to get the vaccine to protect themselves in their families,” Mt. Zion Baptist Church Rev. Tremaine Combs said.
