Language barriers and a largely online scheduling system make it difficult for monolingual non-English speakers and people who aren’t digital natives, often seniors, to access the vaccines that they’re eligible for. So a local organization serving primarily Asian American seniors is advocating for improved access to vaccines, and bringing doctors who can administer vaccines to the seniors who need them. Anni Chung, CEO and president of Self-Help for the Elderly, explains how they're getting seniors vaccinated.
