ATLANTA - Atlanta s Morehouse School of Medicine has received a financial boost for its COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
Bloomberg Philanthropies granted the medical school $2.1 million to expand its programs to provide vaccines to communities in need.
The school says the new grant will allow them to upgrade its mobile medical unit, pay for additional staffing and supplies, and increase outreach.
Using its mobile unit, the school plans to set up temporary vaccination sites in southwest and southeast Atlanta in areas where the population is 92% black and many residents do not have access to equitable care, transportation, internet access, or insurance.
