On Wednesday, May 5th the Protect Our Herd Green County COVID-19 vaccine campaign was launched. Organizations across the county have recognized the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine in our community’s return to normalcy and have come together to coordinate this campaign. The campaign will underscore the importance of getting vaccinated, educate on the vaccine, and will highlight some friendly faces from our community who tell their COVID-19 vaccine story. It is important that as many Green County residents as possible get vaccinated so that we can achieve herd immunity. Please visit the Green County Public Health website to learn more and get resources to get involved in the campaign.
