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..
Can’t speak for Vegas, but going door-to-door in Texas you risk being dropped.

Is there a complete list of cities where the pushers have been confirmed?

What does voting have to do with the “vaccine”?
The corrupt media are pushing the story that it’s only Republicans refusing to get vaccinated. The truth is larger percentages of blacks and other minorities are unvaccinated than whites. But they don’t tell that story.
If my husband were still here, he would tell them thusly: we have a dog that is not friendly and likes to bite; are you still interested in coming in?
Must be nice to live without red flag laws.
Idiots
“Get the hell off my lawn”
It’s Las Vegas we don’t have lawns...its “get the hell off my rocks!”
You can still vote democrat after you die.
I remember when that side of Vegas was all white.
Questions to ask such volunteers and record their responses.
Please identify yourself and your employer.
If you are a licensed medical professional, please identify your license and your medical insurance provider.
What are your recommending that I do?
Of my several medical conditions that are documented in my medial records, which gives you the most concern regarding the vaccine?
These are questions that really should give them pause as they are designed to either show that the person is practicing medicine without a license (felony in most states), or establish clear liability for giving medical advice without having conducting a medial exam.
