MACON, Georgia(41NBC/WMGT) A group of Mercer University undergrads set up a vaccination site this week specifically targeting the Hispanic population.
According to the CDC, the Hispanic population has one of the lowest COVID vaccination rates.
Jose Pino, Interfaith Youth Core coordinator at Mercer University, says many face challenges when it comes to getting the vaccine.
“One of those is transportation, misunderstandings, misinformation, sometimes it’s the language barriers,” Pino said. “So that’s why in that case we feel that we’re doing something for our community.”
