Erie County Sponsors COVID-19 Vaccine Community Forum

As the COVID-19 Vaccine has started to roll out and people have been getting vaccinated, there still remain millions of people who have yet to get the vaccine. There are also tens-of-millions of questions that still remain unanswered in communities across the country.

To help answer questions that people have, and in an attempt to increase the number of people who will take the vaccine, a large coalition of people and organizations have partnered together to bring a COVID-19 Vaccine Community Forum.
