El Sol s success in getting Black, Latino and other underrepresented populations vaccinated debunks the idea that these groups won t get the shot, said Juan Carlos Belliard, assistant vice president for community partnerships at Loma Linda University Health in San Bernardino County. Loma Linda is collaborating with El Sol to staff and provide doses for clinics. The people who show up are ready for their vaccine, though some are a bit hesitant, he said. They re not like our middle-class folks who are literally crying for the vaccine, Belliard said. These folks are still nervous about it, but you ve removed almost all of these other barriers for them.
