Meet our Covid 19 Vaccination Team

Since our work on Covid – 19 activities begun in early 2021, we have hosted about 30 vaccination clinics; 13 in 2021 and about 17 clinics in 2022. During these times, our nurses have vaccinated about eleven hundred individuals, including children, infants and babies. We have provided all the Covid-19 vaccine types, boosters shots; 1st, 2nd, third…. Our clinics also provided vaccinations to other public health emmergencis, such as Mpox, and including flu shots to everyone who came through our clinics. Most imoportedly we provided many food boxes; Traditional and Americans, and handed out 1000s of hand sanitizers, masks and household cleaning supplies, and outreach materials. These supplies were made possible through the support of our partners, other organizations, and individual donors.
