U.S. President Joe Biden visits a mobile COVID-19 vaccination unit and meets with frontline workers and volunteers at Green Road Community Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S., June 24, 2021.
The program, called "Doses to Doors," is designed to target ZIP codes with low vaccine uptake and "dispel rumors" about the Covid-19 jab that may be circulating in those communities.
The program launched officially on Monday at the South Side Homes apartment complex in Charlotte, North Carolina, where volunteers from the nonprofit group Action NC distributed flyers with information about the shot.
"We're not confrontational, it's not like you have to get the shot," member Robert Dawkins told local outlet WBTV. "We get people that will say 'Yes, I will get the shot,' but the follow-up has always been the issue," Dawkins said. "Will they go? How can we get people to go out and go? So now that the health department is out with us, we miss that middle step now."
One man reportedly even "jumped at the chance" to get the one-off Johnson & Johnson shot right on his porch, according to WBTV. The man said that he was too busy taking care of his grandkids to go to the pharmacy, claiming he would tell his family members he had been vaccinated in the hope of convincing them to follow suit.
