President Biden is turning to Black-owned barbershops and beauty salons as part of his administration’s vaccination outreach effort as he strives to reach his Fourth of July goal to get Americans vaccinated.
The president announced the “Shots at the Shop” initiative during Wednesday remarks, which will recruit barbershops and salons to mobilize their communities to get vaccinations throughout June.
Participating barbershops and salons are expected to provide and display vaccine information and educational materials, as well as host vaccination events with assistance from local partners.
