Johnson County Public Health was recently awarded $150,000 to study and address vaccine equity amongst the residents of Johnson County.
If you see our staff out in their blue vests, chat with them about your thoughts on the Flu & COVID-19 vaccines. Your input will help JCPH address barriers to care as well as how we can better serve you.
This grant was provided through the NACCHO P4VE grant program.
