VACCINE EQUITY

Voces Unidas is committed to ensuring that Latinos have equitable access to the vaccine. 

​

Our promotora program is assisting individuals who now qualify for the vaccine to schedule appointments with local hospitals and clinics so that they can get their vaccine quicker. 

​

We are also rolling up our sleeves as an organization to offer free vaccine clinics in our valleys, in partnership with the Governor's Vaccine Equity Team, Colorado Department of Public Health, and local partners. These strategic clinics will ensure more access points for Latinos who are being left behind unintentionally by traditional health care systems. See calendar more more info. 

​

Voces Unidas has also launched a Spanish radio campaign to promote vaccine safety and increase Latino participation in the vaccination program.

Second Dose Clinic 

Second doses for the Jan. 30 participants are scheduled for Feb. 27 in Glenwood Springs at the same location. You will get a text message, email and a phone call as reminders. First doses will NOT be given at this clinic. You need to bring your CDC vaccination Record Card to this appointment. If you cannot make this appointment, please consult with your primary care provider for your options for a second dose.

Next First Dose Clinic - March 13 (Glenwood Springs)

Our next Voces Unidas clinic for first doses is scheduled for March 13 in Glenwood Springs. We are now making appointments for 1A and 1B groups, including essential workers like grocery store and restaurant workers or individuals with two or more chronic illnesses. This will be an outside clinic and clients need to come in their cars. (We will have a small indoor room to accommodate those without cars). You can sign up here.
