YMCA branches located nearby in-need locations will join the Dallas County Health and Human Services to help Dallas residents register for vaccinations starting Wednesday, Feb 24.
"We see firsthand that many of those who currently qualify for the vaccine do not have computers or internet access at home, and at the Y, we believe access should not be a barrier to receiving the vaccine," vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion for the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, Rodrigua Ross said.
The registration clinics are targeted towards senior and vulnerable populations who may need assistance to register.
The effort stems from the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas' "Y-Commitment", the non-profits pledge to make the health of its members, program participants, staff, guests, and the North Texas community a top priority.
