Vaccine Registration, Vaccination & Awareness:

Amani Women Center in collaboration with DeKalb County and CORE vaccinated over 200 adults and children on Saturday, December 4th at the Amani Sewing Academy location on MDM campus. It was the first community vaccine event ever in the state of Georgia to offer $100 prepaid debit cards to everyone receiving a COVID vaccination age 5 and older. “Many in our community are unsure about the side effects and safety of the vaccine,” said Doris Mukangu, Executive Director – Amani Women Center. “We spend time prior to these vaccination events having small group vaccine education sessions including doctors and trusted leaders, who can answer questions and concerns for people in their native language. The turnout today has been tremendous, with over 300 attendees. We’re seeing a shift and acceptance in the community where more families want to get vaccinated so their children can be safe in school, and everyone can move around more freely again.” Amani Women Center extends a special thanks to community partners, volunteers, and staff for working together to make this historic event a success!
