Getting the Vaccine: 

Get Out the Shot: a volunteer-run collective that is seeking to remedy and specific and pernicious harm – there are barriers to vaccine access in the communities that have been hardest hit by COVID-19. Los Angeles is struggling to get vaccines into the people that need them most. Get Out the Shot is matching the need to appointments for those that are eligible.

Individuals looking for help for themselves or a loved one can call 213.986.7604 or complete the help form. A volunteer will call them back in the language they specify to get pertinent information for an appointment, including how far they can travel, whether they want walk-up or drive-thru and when they are available.

Information on COVID-19 & Children’s Health:

Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, adults make up most of the known cases to date, according to the CDC.

A small number of children, however, have developed an inflammatory condition as a result of COVID-19 known as Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C). MIS-C has been described as inflammation (swelling) across multiple body systems, potentially including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, and gastrointestinal organs. Signs and symptoms of MIS-C include fever and various symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, and feeling tired.

If your child has any of these symptoms, other symptoms of COVID-19, or other concerning signs, contact your pediatrician. If your child is showing any emergency warning signs including trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion, inability to wake or stay awake, bluish lips or face, severe abdominal pain, or other concerning signs, seek emergency care right away.
