Dignity Health, the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health Sports Park have joined efforts to vaccinate vulnerable and underserved populations in Los Angeles
Dignity Health, the LA Galaxy and Dignity Health Sports Park have joined efforts to accelerate the process of vaccinating vulnerable and underserved populations in Los Angeles that don’t normally have consistent access to healthcare.
When Dignity Health hospitals in Southern California began providing the Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in late December 2020, the initial focus was the vaccination of all health care workers at each of its six hospitals. The health system is now moving forward with providing the vaccine to as many people within the underserved communities as possible.

The letter was signed by officials from a host of community groups, including the Alliance for Children s Rights, AltaMed Health Services, Empowering Pacific Islander Communities, Faith and Community Empowerment, Fulfillment Fund, LA s Best, Meet Each Need with Dignity and New Hope Community Church. Several elected officials also signed the letter, including Carson Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes and Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino, who this week asked the city to explore legal remedies for expediting school re-openings.
Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Wednesday the county will expand vaccine eligibility to various essential workers in the next two to three weeks, including teachers. But even when teachers become eligible for the vaccine, it will take months to get them fully vaccinated, given the extremely limited weekly allocations of doses the county receives.
