The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $4.5 million grant on Aug. 10 to assist the county in COVID-19 vaccine community engagement and outreach services. The grant also includes an incentive program for those seeking to get vaccinated but are burdened with financial setbacks.
“The vaccine equity program is really a terrific way to get people not yet vaccinated, motivated through community organizations … I’m very happy that the state has allocated this money,” Chaffee said.
