Monday Dose of Info: Combatting COVID-19 Misinformation, LGBTQIA Vaccine Town Hall, and More!

Dear Friends,

We are three weeks away from a full re-opening which means that getting vaccinated is more important (and easier) than ever!

This past weekend the LA County Department of Public Health partnered with the Lakers in a vaccine sweepstakes that reached close to 9,000 residents who received their first dose at a participating location.

And while this sweepstakes is over, we expect others in the future, and many sites are currently offering other incentives like gift cards, bicycles and more! So, don't wait - take your pick of a vaccine site near you and invite a friend to join!

You can visit: VaccinateLACounty.com, FindMyVaxLA.com, or call 833-540-0473 to find a vaccination site near you. You can also drop in to any of our vaccination sites in the First District below.

Sincerely,

Chair Hilda L. Solis

Supervisor, First District
