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).

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

Garage painting can make a practical space feel cleaner, brighter, and more organized. Walls and ceilings may accumulate dust, marks, and stains, while concrete floors require different preparation and coatings from ordinary drywall. Professional painters identify the surface materials and recommend appropriate products for https://www.doublegpainters.com/ each area. They also consider ventilation, expected traffic, and exposure to household chemicals. Separating the project into suitable stages helps create a functional finish that supports everyday storage, hobbies, and household activities.

The vaccination site described here highlights an important point about public health access: location and trust can be just as important as availability. People may face practical barriers such as transport, work schedules, language differences, or uncertainty about eligibility, so placing services in a familiar community setting can make participation much easier. The fact that access was not tied to county residence, immigration status, or health insurance also shows how removing administrative obstacles can broaden the reach of a health programme. Another useful consideration is coordination between organisations. When local government, healthcare providers, schools, and community institutions share responsibilities, services can be delivered more efficiently while reaching groups that might otherwise be missed. Similar coordination is valuable in other fields…

Aerial mapping can provide a broad visual overview of a development site, property boundary, or designated work area. Drone imagery may be processed into maps that help teams understand layout, access routes, and visible site features. New York City projects can involve limited space and complex surroundings, making planning essential. Mapping professionals determine the appropriate resolution, coordinate system, and output format for each assignment. Reliable documentation can support communication https://xizmomedia.com/ between developers, contractors, designers, and other stakeholders involved in planning or construction.
