In addition to mass vaccination sites and pharmacy megachains, coronavirus vaccine is being distributed by community clinics that serve populations where they’ve built strong connections and trust — through language and cultural competency or by serving low-income families. North East Medical Services has multiple clinics in San Francisco and around the Bay Area, serving some 70,000 patients, many of whom are low-income Chinese speakers. Dr. Kenneth Tai, chief health officer, and Jessica Ho, government affairs and community liaison, talk about NEMS' vaccine distribution strategy.
