Sahan Journal provides readers multilingual information on COVID-19 vaccines

Last week we talked with a pediatrician who works on making sure solid and accurate health information is available to everyone regardless of income, race, or immigration status.

“When we think about how we address vaccine equity, it really is how do we address access. Access to education and information around the vaccine and how these vaccines are safe and effective. And making sure that that’s available as widely as possible,” Dr. Nathan Chomilo, pediatrician and Senior Equity Advisor to the state Department of Health, said.  

So, who is eligible? And how do you get the vaccine?  

Sahan Journal, a digital news organization that serves immigrant commutes and people of color in Minnesota, produced a series of videos in 5 different languages to provide more clarity.  

Ben Hovland and Joey Peters joined Cathy Wurzer to talk about their effort to combat misinformation and connect with readers in their first language.
