"And you had to have a computer and an internet connection or data, or Wi-Fi access or a smartphone in order to be basically book an appointment to get a vaccine."
"We started mass distribution, so you're expecting people to go online to basically out themselves," Flores said. "If you are especially from Hispanic communities and communities of color, it is not something perhaps you're most comfortable doing and you don't want to make it public.' "We would give this list of the people that are eligible [and say], 'You just have to say yes or no, you don't have to specify which part of the eligibility you fall into,'" he said. "So, people don't feel like they've been put on the spot."How to reduce racial/ethnic disparities
He added, "Specific to our county, we were working hard and putting information on social media, on dating apps, information that somebody that speaks Spanish can actually read and make sense of. You want to have individuals talking to you in your own language, when you call and make the appointment for your vaccine."
