Bartlett residents benefit from BAPS Charities vaccination drive

BAPS Charities recently organized a COVID-19 vaccination drive in Bartlett, in collaboration with Prism Health Lab. A total of 1,111 vaccine doses were administered in just one day.

Volunteers from BAPS Charities ensured that the vaccination experience was orderly and safe by providing social distancing, sanitization and translation services.

Medical staff from Prism Health Lab also carried out the vaccination registration, delivery of vaccines and offered post-vaccination care.

"It is a passion for our volunteers to give back, and we're grateful to have Prism Health as a partner in this vaccine drive," said Yagnesh Patel, a BAPS Charities volunteer.

The recipients of the vaccine appreciated the seamless organization of the vaccination process.

Dr. Mehbub Kapadia, medical director of Prism Health Lab, said, "I am so thankful to the BAPS Charities volunteers for putting this event together in only two days. This event is one of the best events we have done, among the over 100 drives we have done so far."

BAPS Charities has supported local communities during these trying times by battling the misinformation surrounding COVID-19 vaccines and providing vaccination infrastructure.

Similar vaccination drives have been planned at more than 30 cities throughout North America, wherein thousands of community residents will get easy access to vaccines.

BAPS Charities has actively served the community, particularly front line workers, first responders, community support organizations, medical centers and the underserved since the onset of the pandemic.

BAPS Charities has provided more than 110,000 pieces of personal protective equipment, donated $180,000 in financial assistance and prepared and delivered more than 80,000 meals to those battling the coronavirus for all.
