A panel of health and care experts from across Plymouth are set to chair an online question and answer session to help provide reassurance and the facts around the Coronavirus vaccine to local people.
Hosted by Tony Gravett MBE from the local Healthwatch, the event will take place virtually between 6.30pm and 8pm on Tuesday 13 April.
Answering questions will be Dr Alex Degan, Medical Director for Primary Care for Devon, Sue Wilkins, Associate Chief Nurse and Director of Mass Vaccination and Dr Ruth Harrell, the Director of Public Health at Plymouth City Council.
The event will enable those with concerns about the Coronavirus vaccine to put their questions direct to local health and care experts. Dr Harrell said:
“Over the past 12 months, we have all been working hard to keep Coronavirus OUT of Plymouth. Whilst the rollout of the vaccine is obviously welcomed, with over 97,000 local people already being vaccinated, it isn’t a quick fix and the journey will be complicated.
The aim of this event is to listen to concerns, provide genuine up-to-date information and dispel any rumours that may be causing anyone to think twice about having the vaccine.”
