Healthy Savannah, YMCA seek community input for vaccine awareness through open forum

Healthy Savannah and the YMCA of Coastal Georgia are hosting public listening sessions to discuss COVID-19 vaccine awareness and acceptance.

The first two sessions were held in early June. Participants were asked to share their thoughts about the vaccine and whether or not they were considering getting the shot.

They will host their third event in the series the week of July 12.

Email elsie@healthySavannah.org to learn more and find out how to participate. Registration for the event is free.
