BLOOMFIELD, NJ Mayor Venezia and the Town Council will hold a community meeting to discuss health equity and the COVID-19 vaccine virtually on February 3 at 6:30 p.m. Guest speaker Dr. Chris Pernell will join the discussion. The Bloomfield Health Department will make a presentation about the health and efficacy of the vaccine and will be able to answer any question residents may have.
“After months of waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine we are finally seeing residents get vaccinated which is outstanding news. However, many residents have not been able to sign up for the vaccine and some have reservations about receiving the vaccine,” said Mayor Venezia. “It is critical that no group is left out of getting the vaccine and that it is distributed in a fair and equitable manner. For this reason, the Council and I felt that it was important to hold this meeting for our community to answer any questions residents may still have and to invite Dr. Pernell.”
