‘We're All In This Together:' Black Leaders Organize Vaccine Sites
The St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Roseland opened its doors Tuesday for people to get the second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
CHICAGO (CBS) — As CBS 2’s Jim Williams reported Tuesday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is trying to change those trends. She’s getting help from Black leaders and churches to take on persistent vaccine reluctance among some African Americans. The St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Roseland opened its doors Tuesday for people to get the second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
“It’s very important for the church to do this because this is the community of Roseland,” said church administrator Eva Greene. “And people in the Roseland community need to have access to the vaccine.”
