FAJ | CA Reopening: COVID-19 Vaccine Education

Filipino Advocates for Justice is partnering with UC Berkeley Pilipino Association for Health Careers (PAHC) and FACE (Filipino American Care Experience) which are faculty and doctors from Kaiser Permanente, to present an educational session all about COVID-19 Vaccine Resources, California Re-entry, and protecting your own health especially with new variants floating around.

The highlight of the evening will be a live Doctors Q&A session featuring Dr. Camantigue and Dr. Ramirez from Kaiser Permanente Union City Medical Center. There will also be testimonials from our own community members about getting the vaccine, so please email any questions you have in advance to Aurora Sanchez, Community Outreach Worker at FAJ at [email protected]. This presentation will be bilingual in both Tagalog and English.
