Hi everyone, below you will find an announcement from the Washington State
Department of Health on 2 opportunities to inform policy on covid-19. These
are zoom sessions and I encourage all to join if they can.

 

COVID Vaccine Community Conversation (English).pdf

Join us for a community discussion about COVID-19 

Let's Stop COVID-19 Together 

Dear Partners-Please join us for a community conversation about increasing
access to the COVID-19 vaccine for people with disabilities. We want to
understand

the challenges or hesitations people 

experience, what is working well, and how funding or partnership could help
your community increase access to the vaccine. Your perspectives and ideas

will help our cross-disability coalition decide how to focus our resources
and efforts over the next several months. 

There are two Zoom options for these conversations (see below). Sign
Language (ASL) and Spanish interpreters will be available and other language
interpretation

will be available upon request. These meetings are open to people with
disabilities, families and caregivers, service providers, and anyone else
who is

interested in increasing COVID-19 vaccine access for people with
disabilities. Please consider joining and also feel free to share this
