At food and supply distribution events in East Austin, Jill Ramirez and her fellow promotoras (community health workers) are at the end of the distribution line with their clipboards ready to get names and numbers to sign people up for the coronavirus vaccine.  When Travis County notifies her about available vaccine appointment slots, Ramirez picks up the phone to help register as many people as possible on her signup sheet. But she s not with any health care provider, the city or the county. She works with the Latino HealthCare Forum. That organization and other grassroots groups, including the Austin Latino Coalition and the Del Valle Community Coalition, have been reaching out to the Latino community in the eastern crescent of Austin to increase vaccine access.
