Abstract

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, racial/ethnic minority residents of Prince George's County were disproportionately affected by the virus. This report from the field details an intervention that trained community health workers recruited from racial/ethnic minority communities to promote COVID-19 vaccination and health literacy among racially/ethnically diverse communities.
