LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 6, 2021 - A staff member of Clinica Romero, left, registers patients at a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for patients 75 years of age or older in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, February 6, 2021. Clinca Romero has 12,000 patients who are mostly Central American essential workers and has only received 100 vaccines. Only 43 vaccines were given at the first clinic. Clinica Romero had expected a lot more vaccines for a community that is one of the hardest hit areas with COVID-19 in Los Angeles.

"The number of members of our community and staff who have been infected with COVID-19 is concerning and disheartening," said Carlos Vaquerano, executive director at Clinica Romero.
