Am wondering if this is the same camper they drove around in prior to the elections, that had a handwritten sign written with their foot 'mobilevoting.com' that went around to areas in town.

A brief conversation (photo) Luis Hernandez, COVID-19 clinic specialist for Health Care Network in Racine, answers a resident's questions in Spanish on Saturday during the city's mobile vaccination clinic. The City of Racine converted its voter van, a bus introduced in the summer, to a mobile vaccination clinic for the first time.

Diana Panuncial RACINE — “How do you feel about the COVID-19 vaccine?” “Do you have any medical questions?” “Do you live with anyone who isn’t vaccinated?” “Are you afraid of needles?”

These were just a handful of questions Luis Hernandez asked residents on Saturday during the City of Racine’s mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinic.

The city’s mobile voter registration van, which was first introduced in June in an effort to register more voters in the area, was converted to a vaccine clinic that ventured through 10th, 16th, Packard, Austin, Slauson, Taylor, Bluff and Delamere streets with plans to cover more ground in the coming weeks.

Diana Panuncial Hernandez, a COVID-19 clinic specialist for Health Care Network, along with other HCN representatives and Alderman John Tate II (who serves the area the mobile clinic stopped in) were knocking on doors and letting people know they could get vaccinated just a few steps away.

HCN is a nonprofit organization providing free or affordable health care to Racine County residents who are either uninsured or have low income. It’s been working to reach out to communities and provide the vaccine to them, breaking any barriers like transportation, fear or misinformation.

Rachel Kubik ‘The nurses are so good’ For example, when a 13-year-old girl expressed her fear of needles, Hernandez and Claudia Garcia, a dental coordinator at HCN who was helping canvass, said the needle was no thicker than a strand of hair.

“You won’t even know it by the time it’s over,” Hernandez told the girl. “The nurses are so good, they’ve done thousands of vaccinations.”

“We provide them with all of the resources to get the vaccine,” Hernandez told a reporter. “We’re also here to inform them of the benefits (of the vaccine), and the incentive that Racine currently has, which for some individuals, that is the tipping point to actually get the vaccine.”

Anyone who was vaccinated at the mobile clinic — either with their first or second dose — was rewarded by the city with a $50 gift card.

‘You’ve got to keep coming’ Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show Racine County is sitting at about 63% of its eligible population as being vaccinated; a number that the city wants to bring higher, propelling their pop-up and mobile vaccination efforts.

Door-to-door Alderman John Tate II, who serves the 3rd District of Racine and is also Common Council president, speaks to a Packard Avenue resident about the COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Saturday. He knocked on several doors in his district answering questions and informing residents of the mobile vaccine clinic.

Diana Panuncial “Today’s an example where you have to keep doing something differently, because each new intervention kind of gets this initial wave of response, and then tapers off,” Tate said. “You’ve got to keep coming because very easily, folks will be like, ‘It must not be that big a deal,’ because they’re not hearing or seeing about it anymore.”

The mobile clinic and pop-up vaccination sites are ways to “remind folks that we are very much still within a pandemic,” Tate said.

When parked at the intersection of 16th Street and Packard Avenue, Hernandez saw a man he’d met the day before and had informed of the pop-up clinic. On Saturday, the man returned with a friend; they both got vaccinated.

Hernandez was formerly a volunteer for Health Care Network in Racine, but was recently promoted to an official staff member.

Diana Panuncial “As we continue to do this, and the program is more known that we go to the community to help out, I think (vaccination rates) will get better,” Hernandez said.

Meeting residents where they are allows for that “first-hand communication,” Hernandez called it.

“It allows us to go to them at their comfort zone,” he said, which could ease their feelings of hesitation or fear about the vaccine. “I continue to enjoy (talking) because that receptiveness that eventually comes in after the hesitance — because I’ve had quite a few individuals that are initially hesitant, combative or defensive — but then they see I’m here to help out and give factual information about the vaccine.”
