Community Health Partnership

Another one of our member health centers has joined the county vaccination effort! School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County is partnering with Roots Community Health Center to vaccinate Santa Clara County residents who are 65+. Head over to Sunrise Middle School at 1149 East Julian St. in San Jose between 10am and 3pm on any Wednesday (weather permitting) to get your vaccine dose! Rumor has it you may even encounter one of CHP's AHEC Scholar interns during these events! #SupportingOurHealthCenters

Starting February 28, vaccine appointments will be available to workers in education and childcare, emergency services, and the food and agriculture industries. For more information, visit www.sccFreeVax.org or call 2-1-1.

Emmanuel Baptist Church now serving as a drop-in vaccine site! Those 65 and over can receive a free vaccine, no appointment needed. Health insurance is not required and it does not impact your immigration status. Visit www.sccFreeVax.org or call 2-1-1 for more info.

Community health centers (CHCs) provide the best model of equitable vaccine distribution in California, but are being left out of the state’s vaccine distribution efforts for the sake of speeding up the process. We are asking @CAgovernor to prioritize CHCs and our patients!... #CHCsVaccinate #VaccineEquity See more

Read today's op-ed in The Mercury News written by Dolores Alvarado of Community Health Partnership, and Michele Lew, CEO of The Health Trust regarding COVID-19 ...vaccine prioritization. On September 1, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine released a robust 114-page draft framework that proposes a phased approach for the eventual distribution of safe COVID-19 vaccines. The framework rightfully recommends high-risk healthcare workers and first responders should receive priority for the COVID-19 vaccine in Phase 1a. We believe residents in multigenerational housing in the geographic areas hardest hit by COVID should be prioritized in Phase 1b. Just as contact tracing will help those most impacted, vaccines should do the same. That will not only help multigenerational homes, it will help all communities.

Thank you ASM Rivas!
