“I have made it a priority to not only give the residents of DeKalb County the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, but to support and sponsor local efforts to increase vaccination rates,” said Commissioner Cochran-Johnson. “Now that we have the ability to vaccinate youth, I am proud to support a family focused event to vaccinate children and parents. As we enter flu season, it is a critical time in our fight against COVID. I’m happy to present an event that rewards those who are vaccinated with a wholesome experience and provides joy and financial assistance through our $100 gift card incentive.”
