Virtual Town Hall on Vaccination for Chicago/Illinois

Following on our first virtual town hall about the Covid-19 vaccine for people with disabilities in Illinois, we will be hosting a new town hall this Thursday, February 18, from 5:30 pm to 7 pm Central Time. While our first town hall was heavy on presentations, this town hall will be focused on answering questions from residents in Chicago and in Illinois. Bring your questions about prioritization and accessibility! Our confirmed guest speakers are:

• Commissioner Rachel Arfa, Chicago Mayor’s Office on People with Disabilities (MOPD)
• Rachel Bernard, Medical Director, COVID Response Bureau, Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH)
• Tamara Mahal, City of Chicago Vaccine Lead and Assistant Commissioner, Chicago Department of Aviation
• Eric Segreti, Rush University Medical Center
• Allison Stark, Director of the Division on Developmental Disabilities, Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS-DDD)
