A U.S.-Mexico border philanthropy group plans to use a $2.5 million grant to vaccinate Latinos who are still hesitant due to immigration status or disinformation.
Carey said the partnership will divide the $2.5 million in $30,000 grants to distribute among community agencies around the U.S. that work with Latinos and undocumented immigrants.
“We are going to continue to raise money to support this effort. This need is so important,” Carey said. The partnership has worked with Ventanilla de Salud, a program based in the Mexican consulates that provides health and wellness services such as flu shots, cancer screening, blood pressure tests and other basic prevention to the Mexican diaspora in the U.S.
