LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- The push to get vaccines to everyone is personal for some people. Friday afternoon, a group of local volunteers tried to convince the unvaccinated to get vaccinated.
Since the beginning of las month, Mi Familia Vota has been knocking on doors throughout Las Vegas. The group, made up of volunteers, is specially targeting Hispanic neighborhoods, talking to Latinos about the vaccine.
Mi Familia Vota vaccine canvas “The Eastside is a lot of Hispanics and a lot of Hispanics don’t normally believe in vaccines in my experience, that was the thing with my family,” volunteer Leticia Rios said.
Rios's parents had COVID-19 and did not plan on getting vaccinated until she changed their minds. While she has not had COVID-19 herself, the pandemic has forever changed her life.
“I was a senior in high school and everything had to be shut down… I didn’t have a graduation. I didn’t have a prom... everything got shut down and I got really scared because I was like, ‘When is this going to end?’” Rios said.
A year and a half later, Rios is volunteering her time with the goal of helping the end of the pandemic come sooner.
She said most people are receptive to her message, but she never knows exactly what to expect knocking on a stranger’s door.
“There’s like just a few that say ‘no thank you’ and slam the door and you know its fine. We try to push to get vaccinated but if it’s an absolutely no for them you know that’s up to them,” Rios explained.
Rios tried to share with people who were hesitant why getting everyone vaccinated is so important to her.
“I just want our communities to be safe... the sooner we get through this the better,” Rios said.
The pop-up COVID-19 vaccination events in the neighborhoods offered anyone who goes free food and school supplies for kids.
Mi Familia Vota is hosting two events this weekend. The first event is at the Meadows Mall on Saturday, July 24, from 11 A.M. to 7 P.M.. On Sunday, July 25, the Universal Church on east Desert Inn Road is hosting an event from 4 P.M. to 8 PM..

“ Mi Familia Vota is excited to announce that it is partnering with The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) to mobilize the Latino vote during the 2020 election cycle.”

Volunteers?
REALLY...
I have a needle can I stick it to you ?
Rios needs to go to Chicago. At night.
If you come on my property to ask about my personal medical information, there will be a problem.
“I was a senior in high school and everything had to be shut down… I didn’t have a graduation. I didn’t have a prom... everything got shut down and I got really scared...”
So ... “I”, “I”, “I”, “I” ... “I” was inconvenienced so manipulated my parents to do something stupid.
Free food and school supplies. Ok then......
Some things never change. Every dictator and every tyrant in history has never had a problem getting the help of thousands, if not millions, of ordinary, “good” people to help them further their agendas. And most of them were never paid a cent or given anything in return to do that. Sickening. There’s a thick thread of suicide that runs through humanity.
Just mention HIPPA and tell them to have a nice day, bye.
Most important question is: Are they carrying free $500 casino chips for every house they knock on?
Wow, you seem to be a total badass.
Get the hell off my lawn
Must wonder if this vaccinated volunteer is carrying the virus door to door without knowing it?
Get your filthy ass off my porch....
They come to my house in East Tennessee, there will be a Pistol pointed
at the forehead of the head door knocker.
