Kudos to temple officials for recognizing this issue and opening temple doors for a large vaccination clinic.  People from all religions and ethnicities are serving and being served.  Humanitarian efforts like this are required to move the world forward in the right direction.

The UK's Vaccination Program is moving at breakneck speed, but a lack of reach to communities in need of vaccine and virus information have impacted case numbers and infection rates -- particularly among ethnic minorities who have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19. Now, one London community is taking action by setting up a vaccination center inside the largest Hindu temple in all of Europe. CNN's Salma Abdelaziz reports.

The hindu commumity is not a problem...there are vaccine issues in a community which shall remain unnamed.

 

 

The most heartening things in the video was to see people from various communities in the temple premises - administering and receiving vaccines.

Great news that other religious organizations are also doing this for public health!  In the end, humanity wins.  

 

A mosque in the U.K has stepped forward to dish out jabs to locals and groups at risk, becoming the first mosque in the country to open as a Covid-19 vaccination center.  The al-Abbas Islamic Center in Balsall Heath, Birmingham, is expected to vaccinate up to 500 people a day, and over 350,000 have been inoculated so far.
"It will send a strong message to our Muslim brothers and sisters. We are doing this to say a big 'no' to fake news and a big 'yes' to the vaccine," said Sheikh Nuru Mohammed, the mosque’s imam, dispelling disinformation that the vaccine is forbidden in Islamic law, according to the BBC.
