Is your city administration currently carrying out or planning a Covid-19 vaccination campaign implementing national vaccination strategies? Has your city made first experiences in launching a communication and outreach campaign to your citizens about the vaccinations?
On the 22nd and 25th of March 2021, Connective Cities will hold a two-day response dialogue on “Covid-19: The local implementation of vaccination strategies and related communication in municipalities”.
