Johns Hopkins Medicine clinicians are taking a very focused approach to serving people of color and other marginalized communities in Baltimore by partnering with local health departments, faith-based organizations and going door-to-door to offer COVID-19 vaccinations.

To date, the clinicians have vaccinated more than 3,000 people in Baltimore’s Black, Hispanic and other communities. One city resident remarked, “Thank you for coming. We thought we had been forgotten.”

A photo essay at one such clinic marks how clinic organizers bring vaccines to the community and the residents who receive them.

Johns Hopkins Medicine’s vaccination clinic directors are available for interviews on how medical institutions partner with communities to improve access to care.
