This study explored the role of CHWs in COVID-19 response, recovery, and rebuilding and the importance, needs, and perils of CHW models. The ¡Andale! ¿Que Esperas? (AQE) vaccination campaign invested in the CHW workforce in California, expanding access to and instilling confidence in COVID-19 vaccines among Latinx communities.The results highlight the importance of  funding CHW programs to  build community resilience and mobilize  communities for social change.
