Healthy Savannah and the YMCA of Coastal Georgia are working to build confidence in the COVID-19 vaccines across a broad swath of our community still hesitant to get vaccinated and reduce their risk of serious consequences of infection. As of Friday, only 55% of Chatham County residents have received at least one dose of the vaccines; only 49% are fully vaccinated, according to the Coastal Health District. Statistics in Bryan and Effingham counties are even lower: 46% and 36% are fully vaccinated, respectively.

On Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m., the two nonprofit organizations will host a joint virtual listening session to better understand residents' concerns. Residents interested in participating should RSVP to [email protected]. A link will be sent to those who RSVP.
