We are still in a pandemic and many of our family members, friends, and neighbors have not had equitable access to vaccines against COVID-19.

So far, 72.7% of San Diego County residents have received at least one dose and 56.1% are fully vaccinated. However, hard to reach communities (Latinx, immigrant, Spanish-speaking with lower access to technology) who live in select neighborhoods in Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido, have vaccination rates under 50%. 

Universidad Popular in collaboration with Cal Fire Operation Collaboration, San Diego County, San Marcos Unified School District and Escondido World Marketplace is co-hosting these up-coming vaccination clinics:

Do you still need your vaccine against COVID-19 or know someone who does? 

We can help you! 

Universidad Popular in collaboration with Cal Fire Operation Collaboration, San Diego County and Escondido World Marketplace is hosting vaccination clinics in Escondido on the following days:

Universidad Popular is firmly committed to ensuring that everyone in our community has access to a vaccine. Continuing to inform, educate and motivate our friends, family, and neighbors to follow safety guidelines and to get vaccinated are important steps in the effort to overcome this pandemic that has disproportionately impacted Latinx, immigrants, frontline essential workers, and many more vulnerable members in our communities.

We are continuously assessing, monitoring, and advocating for equity in COVID-19 relief and recovery strategies. Our team is present in meeting rooms with decision makers and on the ground providing vaccine education to community members in their language. We are growing partnerships and coalitions with county officials to vaccinate hard to reach and vulnerable members of our community including farmworkers to ensure that together we #GetToImmunity

Universidad Popular and the Employee Rights Center invite all our partners to join us for a meeting to learn about COVID-19 Workplace Outreach Project (CWOP),  a statewide educational campaign, with the focus of reaching frontline workers and employers disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to provide information and resources on COVID-19 safety guidance, vaccination, and workers’ rights.

Almost a year ago the world came to a complete halt as the worst pandemic in over one hundred years ravaged our communities altering what we do and how we do it at home, schools, work sites, medical facilities, businesses, recreation facilities, places of worship and every other place where we interact with one another.
