PHILLY COUNTS News!!

Join Philly Counts for an Upcoming Vaccine Information Champion Training!

If you didn’t have the chance to join us last week, we are excited to share the registration links for upcoming Vaccine Information Champion training sessions in English on April 5th at 1:00pm, and in Spanish on April 8th at 1:00pm. We understand that there are many questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, how to sign up for it, and what to expect when you go for your appointment. We hope this 90 minute training empowers you with the information you need to have meaningful conversations with your friends and neighbors.
