The partnership between Center for Reducing Health Disparities, UC Davis Health, and the California Department of Public Health’s Office of Health Equity focuses on community-based strategies to increase testing access and vaccine uptake by Latinx and African Americans in Sacramento and Yolo counties. The primary goal of MOVE IT UP is to increase the percentage of Latinx and African Americans who are vaccinated. CRHD and UC Davis Health are working together with various local organizations including City Church, the Sacramento Black Media Coalition (SBMC), the Health Education Council, Lideres Campesinas, RISE, Inc. and other local community-based organizations to increase vaccine equity in these historically underserved populations. The project has mobile vaccine and testing units that are available five days a week, including regular evening and weekend hours.
