Delaware County Council hosted a ‘Healthy for the Holidays’ COVID-19 Vaccine Townhall on Wednesday, December 8, to help ensure that residents would have the latest COVID-19 information as travel and gatherings increase with the arrival of the holiday season.

A panel of distinguished health experts discussed the latest data regarding regional COVID-19 positivity rates and hospitalizations, boosters, variants, vaccine hesitancy, and more.

The Healthy for the Holidays COVID-19 Vaccination Townhall panelists included:

• Dr. Lisa O’Mahony, Pediatrician and Delaware County Interim Physician Advisor
• Dr. Patrick J. Brennan, Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of University Pennsylvania Health System and Delaware  County Board of Health member
• Dr. Marina Barnett, Associate Professor, Widener University Center for Social Work Education
• Dr. Victor Rullan, Epidemiologist for Delaware County

Delaware County residents were invited to participate through Zoom (through their desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device) or—for those without a fast and reliable internet connection—through a regular phone connection and were encouraged to submit questions to the panel.
