Eight churches around New York State will serve as pop-up sites for vaccine kit distribution as officials work to vaccinate people in the Black and Latino communities.
Churches in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse will operate vaccine sites as well as churches in Brooklyn, the Bronx and on Long Island.
The pop-up sites are opening amid concerns over vaccine hesitancy among people of color, hesitancy that is historically rooted in part by medical experiments conducted on Black people in the mid-20th century.
