Description
The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce is collaborating with The North Country Chamber of Commerce to bring leading healthcare providers together from across the region to review COVID-19 Vaccine safety and to discuss vaccine hesitancy that is being reported from physicians and vaccination sites across the state.
We will be hosting medical professionals from both regions in a moderated panel discussion to highlight the significant benefits to public health and the associated economic impacts that getting New Yorkers vaccinated will bring.
