Local leaders play vital role in successful COVID-19 vaccine efforts

When COVID-19 testing became more available in Tuscaloosa last spring, community advocates like Judith Zambrano worried that Latino residents weren’t getting tested. Some people were afraid of finding out they might be positive. Others didn’t have time off work or the transportation to get to test sites. Many were nervous about identification or insurance questions, Zambrano explained. Holy Spirit Catholic Church of Tuscaloosa, which holds services in Spanish, responded by hosting drive-through test centers in the late afternoon hours of summer.  “We went over the amount of tests we had and it went on until night time,” said Zambrano, who is an organizer with the Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice and a Holy Spirit parishioner. “It was successful because people put a lot of trust in the church. Often more than they do in a doctor they’ve never met.”
