Healthy Savannah Offers Public Listening Session

Healthy Savannah has scheduled an in-person public listening session from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, at the Pennsylvania Avenue Resource Center (PARC) The event, with support from the Center for Black Healthy & Equity, will be presented by the Savannah (Ga.) Chapter of the Links, Inc., one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations committed to enriching, sustaining, and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African Americans and other people of African ancestry.

“We’ll have Black and Hispanic medical experts there to answer questions about vaccine safety and efficacy,” said Denise Cooper, VP, the Links. “There may be questions about how and why those affected by the Texas measles outbreak in which one child died were not vaccinated and whether that could happen here.”

The listening session will also provide a non-judgmental platform for discussing the experiences, perceptions, and concerns related to vaccine access, awareness, and acceptance.
