People in northeast Calgary will take part in a town hall event Wednesday designed to address the issue of vaccinations.
Ward Councillor George Chahal will host the Facebook Live featuring a panel of medical experts who can address questions about vaccines including dispelling myths and bad information.
The quadrant has spent most of the past year at the top of Alberta Health Service s list of health zones with active COVID-19 cases in Alberta, which is why Chahal says the event was needed more than ever for his part of the city.
