FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Consulate General of Mexico becomes new
vaccination site in Sacramento
Sacramento, Calif. (March 8, 2021) -- The Consulate General of Mexico in
Sacramento is pleased to announce that it will become a COVID-19 vaccination site as
of Monday, March 8, thanks to a strategic alliance with Elica Health Centers and the
consular Health Window (Ventanilla de Salud), administered by the Health Education
Council.
The new vaccination site, at 2093 Arena Blvd., also is supported by the Natomas
Unified School District and Mayor Pro Tem Angelique Ashby, who represents the
district.
Vaccinations will be available by appointment only for all eligible Mexican nationals,
according to the categories established by the County of Sacramento. Please note that
while Sacramento County will establish the phase that will be followed, the vaccine will
be administered regardless of which county a person resides within the 24-county
consular jurisdiction. Access to the vaccine will be given regardless of immigration
status or health insurance availability.
A media event will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday, March 8 at the new vaccination
site to discuss how it will serve the community and region (see details below).
Those who wish to be vaccinated may register at the following link:

de Salud) at 916-329-3502 or text the word “vacunas” to 833-510-7753.
Appointments are currently open to the following categories, which have been
authorized by the County of Sacramento: Phase 1a and 1b (i) people over 65; (ii)
teachers (K-12); (iii) childcare workers.
Latinos in California represent 40% of the population and have been the most impacted
by the pandemic, representing 55.2% of infections and 46.2% of deaths. Despite the
high infection and mortality rate, only 17% of this population has been vaccinated,
according to information provided by the California Department of Public Health.
“It is a privilege for this consulate to actively participate in the promotion of vaccination
amongst our nationals as place of trust and safety for our community,” said Liliana
Ferrer, who leads the Consulate General of Mexico in Sacramento
“We are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the Consulate as we once
again work together to serve the greater Sacramento region with a focus on the Latino
community,” Mayor Pro Tem Ashby said.
“The Natomas Unified School District and Consulate testing and vaccination clinics
represent the true spirit of Sacramento and it is an honor to provide this service to the
community.” Said Carol Swanson of Natomas Unified School District.

The Consulate General of Mexico in Sacramento has been established as a new COVID-19 vaccination site through a partnership with Elica Health Centers, the Health Education Council, and support from local education and city authorities. Located at 2093 Arena Blvd., the site aims to improve vaccine access for eligible individuals, including seniors, teachers, and childcare workers, with appointments available regardless of residency county, immigration status, or insurance coverage. The initiative highlights strong community collaboration during the pandemic, especially in serving Latino populations who were disproportionately affected. Much like the NYT Letterboxed rules, where success comes from understanding connections and using all elements strategically, this effort shows how coordinated partnerships and shared resources can create effective solutions for public health challenges.
This is the awesome blog. Really looking forward to read more.

Thanks for sharing this detailed press release. It clearly highlights the collaboration between the Consulate General of Mexico, local health organizations, and city officials to expand COVID-19 vaccine access in Sacramento. The focus on community outreach, especially for underserved Latino populations, is particularly significant and well-documented here.

It is common for people to consider level 5 diploma in education and training after noticing a gap in their teaching confidence. The course is often described as helping to structure lesson planning more effectively. Learners also gain more clarity on assessment and feedback techniques. The focus on real practice makes the qualification feel more relevant. The College of Contract Management is sometimes mentioned as a pathway for professional development in education.
