The Health and Religious Affairs Committee partnered to have a discussion on the COVID-19 VACCINE.


Members of the community were able to ask questions from Genelle Allen from Wayne County to share the importance of getting the Vaccine.


Members of the Black and Latino Communities are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19, but have less access to getting vaccinations.
