Family-Sized Vaccination Appointments
Many people interested in getting vaccinated for COVID-19 face tremendous barriers, such as lack of transportation, inability to make appointments online, and limited time outside of work. Understanding these challenges, the Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington (KCSC) held a family vaccination event offering adult and pediatric vaccines and bagged groceries to take home. One family in attendance – two full-time working parents and their three children – had made multiple failed attempts to schedule vaccinations for the entire family and felt discouraged. They had to put off their vaccinations for months. KCSC’s clinic, which was offered on a Saturday, made it possible for this entire family to receive their vaccines in one day at a convenient location near their home.
