Last week, local experts participated in the New Pittsburgh Courier’s informational COVID Vaccine Forum, which was sponsored by AARP Pennsylvania, to discuss topics that included the current approved COVID-19 vaccines, issues with distribution for Blacks, resources for getting a vaccine and more.
Forum participants were Angela Foreshaw-Rouse, Manager of State Operations & Community Outreach for AARP Pennsylvania; Dr. Tracey Conti, Program Director of the UPMC McKeesport Family Medicine Department and Vice Chair and Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; Dr. Margaret Larkins-Pettigrew, Chief Clinical Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer for Allegheny Health Network; and Dr. Anita Edwards, Medical Director and Chairman of the Health Equity Committee for Gateway Health Plan.
The hour-long event was moderated by WPXI news reporter Michele Newell.
