The Federal Emergency Management Agency has teamed up with the Native American Health Center in Oakland and Alameda County to provide COVID-19 vaccines to people in the Fruitvale district, one of the areas hit hardest by the virus.
The Fruitvale and surrounding zip codes have some of the highest coronavirus case rates in the county. It’s why Natalie Aguilera with the Native American Health Center said she is so grateful to partner with FEMA to provide vaccines in the heart of the neighborhood. The pop-up site opened on Saturday and has seen an overwhelming response.
