PHOENIX — Phoenix City Councilwoman Yassamin Ansari, who serves District 7, has organized a community outreach effort to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19.
District 7 has zip codes with some of the lowest vaccination rates in Phoenix, according to a press release from the councilwoman's office. District 7 covers a southwest section of Phoenix.
Thursday, May 13, Ansari will lead an event "to educate communities about the importance of getting vaccinated and sharing easy-to-navigate information on how to do so," the press release said.
The event will include volunteers going door-to-door and registering people for a pop-up vaccine event at Cesar Chavez Park on Saturday, May 15, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The pop-up vaccination site was established by the City of Phoenix and Adelante Health.
