Health groups to host tele-town halls on COVID-19 vaccine

The Louisiana Public Health Institute and Louisiana Department of Health are hosting a series of virtual community conversations called “All Things Covid-19 Vaccine — A Tele-Townhall for Sharing Information and Answers.”
The goal is to provide information about the COVID-19 vaccine, dispel myths and answer direct questions from participants. The dialogue also will focus on equitable health outcomes for all Louisianans, especially the African American community who has been impacted disproportionately by COVID-19.
The event for Regions 1, 3 and 9 (Greater New Orleans, Houma-Thibodaux and North Shore areas) will be held Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The webinars will be available through GoToWebinar.

Each event will be moderated by Shelina Davis, CEO of Louisiana Public Health Institute, and Dr. Earl Benjamin-Robinson, director of Louisiana Department of Health’s Office of Community Partnerships & Health Equity. Local panelists will include each region’s medical director, faith-based leaders and community advocates.
