COVID-19 Vaccine Ambassadors Take To Streets, Address People's Concerns

CHICAGO (CBS) -- With more businesses opening up, there is a renewed push to get more people vaccinated for COVID-19.

In communities such as Pilsen, vaccine ambassadors are taking the time to talk to small groups of people to address their concerns.

Vaccine ambassador Carlos Millan said there is a reason for hesitancy in Black and Brown communities.

"We've been underserved for so long that we are skeptical comes are way," Millan said. "When something great for our community comes, we are skeptical."

So far, about 1,600 people have signed up for training as ambassadors.
