Support for Minorities in Wisconsin

The COVID Pandemic that affected the nation has thankfully been subsided in the past few years, but the threat of COVID still remains. This remains true for many minority individuals who have trouble accessing clean resources and vaccinations to protect against the COVID virus. Fortunately, we as an organization, along with the support of our partners, have had many successful opportunities to run free vaccination clinics that also serve to provide minorities with access to free resources and information on how to get support for their struggles.

As of late, the need for full direct access to COVID vaccines is dwindling, as more and more of our community are being successfully vacinated. The main concern now is to ensure that individuals of our community that got vaccinated continue to get their booster shots at the appropriate moments. This involves making sure to direct individuals to free and locally available clinics and pharmacies across the Fox Valley Region. We have made a considerable effort to include this information in our handouts, with the numbers and addresses to locally available pharmacies and clinics handed to minority individuals throughout our many other events.

For the people that PCI directly work with, we ensure that they have access to the resources that they need. This includes asking if they are in need of a COVID vaccine, and if they do, we help them to sign up for a COVID vaccine at a local clinic or pharmacy. While the demand for COVID vaccines has reduced, we still want to ensure that people are still prepared and protected against COVID.
