FITCHBURG – Health Care For All (HCFA) teams have been hitting the pavement, canvassing the area, going door to door, talking to residents about the COVID-19 vaccine and offering information on it as well as vaccine clinics in the region.

City resident Eladia Romero is leading the team working in the streets of Fitchburg and Leominster as part of the organization’s Vaccine Equity Initiative, a project in partnership Archipelago Strategies and coordinated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

“We speak with people on their doorsteps, keeping physical distancing and wearing a mask,” Romero said. “We engage them on the importance of vaccination, answering questions, calming fears, and giving information on upcoming clinics.”
