Ask Your Local Pharmacist: Why are we still worried about COVID 19 infection?

Rockford Ready had a great Q&A about the updated COVID-19 vaccine and the current risk of COVID-19 infection with local Rockford pharmacist, Dr. Ashay Patel from Downtown Discount Drugs, and we were joined by Ron Webb, RN, Health Team Lead at the City of Rockford.
City of Rockford’s Health and Human Service's health literacy initiative, Rockford Ready, aims to build a healthier tomorrow by empowering residents to take control of their health through education, community engagement and promoting access to the COVID-19 vaccine and booster. This program is led by the City of Rockford, in partnership with the University of Illinois Chicago, College of Medicine, Office of Health Literacy and UIC College of Medicine Rockford as well as CURA Strategies.
This program is supported by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health/Office of Minority Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $3,614,521 with 100 percent funded by the OASH/OMH/HHS.
