When the COVID vaccine arrived at the Unidos en Salud testing site on 24th and Capp, Susana Rojas brought her whole family to get vaccinated. \u201cYou name it, I brought them,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s so important [to] take care of yourself, your loved ones, and the community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the Latino Task Force\u2019s communications chair is urging the whole neighborhood to get vaccinated while we still can. \u201cOnce the [federal] emergency response goes away, everything that we\u2019ve been able to provide for free [can] have a charge, and people will need insurance,\u201d she told <\/em>El Tecolote<\/em>. \u201cSo take advantage now, get your [vaccine, get your boosters], don\u2019t be afraid of testing. Once \u2026 the federal government says that we\u2019re no longer under emergency, then all of the funding goes away, and everything becomes chargeable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just four days later, on January 30, the Biden administration did exactly what Rojas predicted: it announced a plan to end the national public health emergency on May 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From then on, the federal government will no longer cover costs of testing, vaccination, or Paxlovid \u2014 nor will it guarantee that they are offered for free by providers. Instead, it will be up to states to determine whether or not COVID care will be paid for<\/a>. In California, despite Gov. Newsom\u2019s designation of February 28 as the end of the local state of emergency, vaccines ordered by a physician will remain free for people on Medicare and Medi-Cal, the Chronicle<\/em><\/a> reported. Patients with private insurance should continue to have their vaccinations covered if they\u2019re administered by in-network providers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But already, \u201cpeople with low incomes, food insecurity, eviction risk, and no health insurance [struggle] to make or attend vaccine appointments, even [when] shots [are] widely available,\u201d Ed Yong reported for the Atlantic<\/em><\/a>. In the Mission, part of what makes the Latino Task Force\u2019s sites so successful is that they present very few barriers \u2014 you can get tested and vaccinated without insurance or an ID. When life-saving prevention and treatment is no longer free or easily accessible, how many more lives will be lost? How many people will develop long COVID? How many will lose work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce access to free services is \u2026 solely available in health centers or through pharmacies, that is going to further health disparities,\u201d Dr. Carina Marquez, co-founder of Unidos en Salud, told El Tecolote<\/em>. \u201cWe see that low-barrier access is helping \u2026 [so] sustain[ing] these projects [of] care delivery outside of the system is going to be really important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Between the Latino Task Force\u2019s three COVID support sites \u2014 701 Alabama and Unidos in the Mission, and 20 Norton in the Excelsior \u2014 over 60,000 COVID vaccine doses and over 30,000 pediatric shots have been administered. \u201cA large proportion [went to people who] are uninsured \u2026 or can\u2019t easily access a clinic,\u201d Marquez said. By June of last year, over 230,000 COVID tests had been done on-site, and over 200,000 at-home kits had been distributed. When people test positive, the Latino Task Force (LTF) provides \u201cfood, PPE, and cleaning supplies \u2026 for the duration of the isolation period,\u201d Rojas says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on December 31st, before the federal government\u2019s announcement, the LTF\u2019s grant with the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) ended. As a result, eight people were laid off and hours were reduced, Rojas said. City funding for culturally competent COVID outreach services was cut, and the LTF is dipping into its resource hub money to continue its efforts. At this rate \u2014 with the end of federal and most DPH funding \u2014 the LTF has enough money to maintain its sites through June 30, Tracy Gallardo, one of the coalition\u2019s founders, says. Beyond that, they likely will not be able to continue without additional city or state support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This outcome would be devastating \u2014 a blow to the progress community sites have made not only in narrowing COVID care equity gaps but also healthcare equity gaps more broadly. In addition to COVID testing, vaccinations, boosters, and treatment, Unidos en Salud provides RSV, flu, HIV, and diabetes tests. The site acts as a gateway to longer-term care, helping to connect patients with Medi-Cal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, community health sites are still essential, and there is a lot that still needs to be done to prevent ongoing loss. \u201cWe still have a lot of work to do with bivalent boosters,\u201d Marquez said. In San Francisco, which boasted primary series<\/a> vaccination rates of 86 percent, only 37 percent of the eligible population has received the latest booster. Among the city\u2019s Latinx residents, fewer still have the newest shot \u2014 just 24 percent<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of great data showing how well [bivalent boosters] are doing in terms of preventing severe outcomes for COVID, especially for older people,\u201d Marquez added. \u201cCome get the bivalent if you haven\u2019t yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SFDPH, when asked about the status of negotiations for continued funding, did not comment directly on the subject \u2014 instead emphasizing that they continue to \u201cfund vaccine services at the 24th<\/sup> and Capp site,\u201d as well as the vendors who provide testing and vaccines to \u201cimpacted communities.\u201d But with the removal of the safety net that was federal emergency status, San Francisco needs to do more to ensure public health, not limit its scope of support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In California, about 40 people<\/a> continue to die every day of COVID. On average, in the first week of February, nearly four thousand people got infected daily<\/em> \u2014 and of them, an estimated ten to 30 percent will develop some form of long COVID<\/a>. For those who work precarious jobs, or who may not have sick pay, a COVID infection can mean loss of the income necessary to cover basic needs. One study<\/a> from last fall found that 22 percent of surveyed Latines lost jobs due to COVID, and 33 percent had lost wages because they missed work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were the ones who got COVID testing and services in the Mission. Because before that, the city was putting it in Embarcadero, in the Marina \u2014 like what happened to the people of color? What happened to the Black folks and the brown folks?\u201d Aleks Zavaleta, who helps run the LTF\u2019s test sites, asked. Nearly three years later, after repeated proof that Latines in San Francisco<\/a> have been and continue to be disproportionately harmed by COVID, we shouldn\u2019t still have to be asking that same question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
