More Hawaii Health Centers To Receive Additional Vaccines For Underserved Communities

Twelve health centers across the Hawaii state have been selected to receive additional vaccines to serve those who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.

The vaccine program chose health centers that are easily accessible to the nation’s underserved communities.

The provided vaccine allocation is separate from the state’s weekly allocations. Moreover, the selected health centers will continue to follow Hawaii’s priority guidelines in administering the vaccine.

“This means more vaccines for people in Hawaii who are being hit the hardest,” said U.S. Senator Brian Schatz. “The vaccine is a miracle of modern science and will give us our lives back. I encourage everyone to get it when it’s your turn.”
