Community-based organizations, medical providers, and elected officials made up the more than 200 volunteers who came out to go door to door. In addition to signing up those who are currently eligible for the vaccine, they also made sure to address any misinformation or concerns.
“I think it was important to come out so that we could raise awareness about the vaccine and encourage more people in the community to get vaccinated,” said Jaye George, a volunteer.
George is also a Quinnipiac University medical student and he said it’s about making sure people have access to the vaccine and know what that access is.
