FAITH, (MIS)TRUST, & COVID-19
Dec 15, 2020 - 6:30 pm
This Town Hall will provide a forum for an honest, factual discussion between the community, health care providers, along with representatives from the CoVPN faith initiative and Philadelphia’s faith communities and representation from Congressman representing Philadelphia.
This episode will provide information about the vaccines soon to be approved for distribution; discuss community concerns about being vaccinated, and how community concerns and government distribution plans affect Black communities in Philadelphia.
We will also share information about the COVID-19 vaccine research studies being conducted in Philadelphia. This is an opportunity for the community to share their voices, “what we-community” need to hear from government representatives, and have their questions answered about COVID-19 and vaccine research.
Registration here. |
