This is particularly concerning because reports indicate that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected people of color.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our Kroger Health team has been working on the frontlines of this pandemic since last spring, delivering quality, accessible healthcare services to Americans of all backgrounds,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Colleen Lindholz<\/span>, president of Kroger Health. &#8220;We are passionate about bringing these services to the people who need them most, which includes communities of color. We want to make sure every American has access to the COVID-19 vaccine. I can&#8217;t thank <span class=\"xn-person\">Turner Sports<\/span>, <i>NBA on TNT<\/i>, and <span class=\"xn-person\">Trae Young<\/span> enough for their partnership to help make sure that people in <span class=\"xn-location\">Atlanta<\/span> and the surrounding areas in <span class=\"xn-location\">Fulton County<\/span> \u2013 one of the most vulnerable locations in the country \u2013 have the access and awareness they need to get vaccinated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kroger Health is the fourth-largest retail healthcare organization in America, with over 2,200 pharmacies and 220 clinics. More than 90% of Americans live within five miles of a pharmacy, making retail healthcare locations a critical piece in the country&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccination strategy. To date, Kroger Health has delivered more than 4.7 million COVID-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the last year I have seen my community devastated by the impact of COVID-19,&#8221; said Young. &#8220;It&#8217;s hit us harder than most. I&#8217;ve been so inspired by the work Kroger and their Kroger Health team are doing to help us get past this pandemic, and I&#8217;m honored to partner with them to drive awareness and education of the vaccine in <span class=\"xn-location\">Atlanta<\/span> and around the country. As a young Black man, I understand the challenges our community faces. Young people and people of color are lagging behind when it comes to COVID-19 vaccinations, and I am passionate about helping bridge that gap.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the pandemic, Kroger Health began early with drive-thru testing sites, then introduced home testing solutions, and later offered antibody and rapid antigen testing. And since the COVID-19 vaccine was first approved, the Kroger Health team increased operations at all pharmacies and clinics nationwide to be able to deliver 1 million vaccines per week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Atlanta is our home, and COVID-19 has been tough on us here. Vaccination efforts are a key part of building back better than ever, so initiatives like this one are crucial right now,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Seth Cole<\/span>, senior vice president, brand partnerships, <span class=\"xn-person\">Turner Sports<\/span>. &#8220;We are proud to partner with Kroger Health and to use our <i>NBA on TNT<\/i> platform to help make a difference in communities that need it most.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, visit <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3183484-1&amp;h=4102274147&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kroger.com%2Frx%2Fcovid-eligibility&amp;a=kroger.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">kroger.com<\/a><\/u>.
