July 2021 Group Watch: New COVID Vaccination Campaign in AL
A recent survey by the Alabama Hospital Association found that 94 percent of Alabamians hospitalized with COVID-19 were not vaccinated against the deadly disease. The fact was announced by the Alabama Department of Public Health in a statement that called for the public to help encourage others to get vaccinated through the newly launched “We Can Do This Alabama” campaign. Those participating in the campaign are asked to encourage three new people each week to get vaccinated, for four weeks. They’re also challenged to recruit five additional people to serve as local champions. Alabama’s vaccination rate is the lowest in the country.
