Turning Points for Children (a Philadelphia-based program) hosted a town hall event to provide background information on the COVID-19 vaccine development process and its safety. Program parents, community members, and Turning Points for Children staff/clients had the opportunity to learn about the latest COVID-19 vaccine guidelines for children and teens and how best to address vaccine misinformation.
Across the country, health centers and other community-based providers are tasked with supporting large scale COVID-19 vaccine rollouts for their patients and communities. This demand has expanded the workload of providers, staff, and volunteers. The National Nurse-Led Care Consortium, Public Health Management Corporation, and the Philadelphia Department of Health formed an innovative partnership to address this need by deploying AmeriCorps members to assist with vaccine delivery.
