Marin City Gets Vaccinated
Nearly 900 of the 3,000 residents have received at least one vaccine dose. Dr. Matt Willis, Marin County’s Public Health officer says: “vaccination rates among African Americans are the same or higher as other groups in that community.”
Yes or no on vaccinations? Education and outreach are so important to share about getting the #covid19vaccination. See what happens when community leaders and local committed volunteers work with health officials! They not only wrapped their arms around Marin City to get #covid19vaccinations to those who want them and information to those who are nervous about getting vaccinated, they actually made sure they received their own vaccination to urge community residents to get theirs.
The April 7 edition of the Marin Independent Journal report does a great job explaining the comprehensive approach. Nearly 900 of the 3,000 residents have received at least one vaccine dose. Dr. Matt Willis, Marin County’s Public Health officer says: “vaccination rates among are the same or higher as other groups in that community.”
