    I am here as well.  Nice to see CDC engaged.  Carolyn is our contact helping with some of our mapping efforts.

    "Meeting people where they are" has been a consistent theme so far in OH and PA. Churches, meal sites grab and go, and other events taking the opportunity to listen and educate!

      Christina Bowen It makes sense that many older adults are not able to get to mass vaccination sites or may want to avoid them! Meeting folks where they are is so important!

    This looks like it might be the OH State Unit on Aging playbook for getting vaccinations to happen at home https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/static/vaccine/homebound-vaccinations-playbook.pdf

      Jessica Pham  can we post this playbook above to our list of resources. Looks really good.

    The National Hispanic Council on Aging has launched a resource center to help with access https://nhcoa.org/nhcoa-launches-covid-19-resource-center-to-help-underserved-communities-access-the-vaccine/

    This seems like a great resource for ADRCs who need help with scheduling in Spanish and Portuguese.

      Christina Bowen Agree.  I was really surprised at the low % among the Hispanic community.  Something we may have to watch as the year rolls out.

    I think we should book Donna Yee for our Person Centered webinar on vaccine outreach!
