What Volunteers Learned After Making Thousands of Vaccine Appointments

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 24, 2021

In early January, Epicenter-NYC, a newsletter launched for New Yorkers to get through the pandemic, began volunteering to help community members make vaccine appointments. So far they’ve booked more than 2,600 shots. Mitra Kalita, Co-Founder of URL Media and CEO & Publisher of Epicenter-NYC, talks about what her and other volunteers have learned through the process and where access gaps remain.
