Ohio Covid-19 Vaccine Town Halls Begin this Week

To help combat dangerous misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines, the Ohio Department of Health is hosting four online Vaccine Town Halls to provide reliable, trustworthy information. Each Town Hall has a different community focus to address health inequities and separate facts from myths. Whether due to past negative experiences with the healthcare system, doubt about Covid-19 vaccines, language barriers, or lack of access to care, Ohioans need access to accurate, reliable information about the vaccines. Each Town Hall features medical experts, community leaders, and public health professionals, and are presented live online initially, and then replayed to watch afterward either online or on the Ohio Channel.

Dates and times of the live Town Halls are:

• Monday, Feb. 22, 6:30 p.m. – African American Ohioans
• Tuesday, Feb. 23, 6:30 p.m. – Hispanic/Latino Ohioans
• Monday, March 1, 6:30 p.m. – Asian American and Pacific Islander Ohioans
• Tuesday, March 2, 6:30 p.m. – Rural Ohioans
