CINCINNATI â To reach the desired herd immunity within Cincinnati communities, the Cincinnati Health Department is working to try a new tack to encourage people to get the shot.
The health department has been pounding social media with cartoon videos encouraging masking and safe social distancing, and the department plans to throw neighborhood block parties wherever COVID-19 vaccination rates are lowest in the city. At the block parties you ll hear music, said Melba Moore, Cincinnati Health Commissioner. There s going to be food. And you get your vax, get something to eat. So you put those incentives there and then let s see who we get.
