Arlington Group Helps Latino, Immigrant Communities Overcome Obstacles to Vaccines

April 29, 2021 at 3:55pm A group of Arlingtonians has worked nights and weekends to sign up nearly 2,000 members of local immigrant communities for the COVID-19 vaccine. And the team, called the Arlington Schools Hispanic Parents Association, only advertised its services twice: once in March, when the group decided to get involved, and once when eligibility expanded to all Virginians 16 and older. Word spread by mouth, text and through small social networks among mostly Spanish-speaking communities in Arlington. “For the first couple of weeks, we were overwhelmed,” said ASHPA member (and former Arlington School Board member) Tannia Talento. “In the last two weeks, it has settled down. But now that it’s open to the public, we expect a second rush.”
