KINGSTON, N.Y. â The first 11 members of the Ulster County Vaccine Distribution Coalition, a group of community leaders which work to educate the public and build trust and confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine, were announced Tuesday.
Dr. Marc Tack, an infectious disease specialist with more than 20 years of experience, will lead the coalition.
âEnsuring we distribute the vaccine safely, quickly, and equitably is the most complex and critical phase of our entire pandemic response, Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan said Tuesday during his livestream briefing. Thatâs why we are planning extensively now and building a true whole-of-community approach. While we are still months away from the vaccine being widely available to the public at-large, we are starting the work now to build trust and confidence, ensuring that the public has the information that they need to understand the process and feel safe taking the vaccine.â
