June 2, 2021 | Watch the Town Hall
In this Making It Plain town hall, learn how barbershops and salons are educating their communities and supporting COVID-19 vaccination. Hear more about the “Shots at the Shop” initiative and the economic rewards and incentives associated with the program.
Dr. Cameron Webb shared his own experience he had with his barber. “We walked through that process of him having questions about the vaccine, to him getting vaccinated, to him encouraging folks in his shop to get vaccinated. . . . Eleven days ago, he hosted a vaccination event in the shop. Thirty people got shots in arms at the barber’s down here in Charlottesville, and it’s because he recognized that’s a huge way for him to get things back to normal and he wants to do his part,” shares Dr. Webb.
“What he said to me today was, ‘You know, Cam, it’s not my style to tell anybody what to do. I just want to make sure they have good information to make whatever decision they want to make.’. . . . We believe if we give people the right information, they’re going to make good decisions. Good decisions for their families, themselves, and their community.”
