Fighting Vaccine Hesitancy 1:26 am
With the news on Saturday that Johnson and Johnson’s COVID Vaccine has been approved, the supply of Vaccines is expected to really ramp up in the coming days and weeks. However, some people are hesitant to get vaccinated and some even say they don’t trust it. We spoke with one Community Leader who is trying to combat that.
Reverend Sylvia King is recovering from her own battle with COVID-19 that lead to Acute Respiratory Failure and Sepsis. Some people have been anxiously waiting to get the Vaccine for months and got it the second they could, but others feel hesitant about getting the shot and even mistrust it.

The Rev. Sylvia King, a member of Johnstown City Council, used an inadvertent visual aid Wednesday while participating in a news conference hosted by U.S. Sen. Bob Casey to encourage people in central Pennsylvania to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
King appeared on the video conference call with oxygen tubes in her nose, medical equipment she expects she’ll need for a few more months, until her lungs clear from a COVID-19 infection she contracted in early January.
“You certainly don’t want to end up in this position,” King said. “I would rather have taken the shot.”
Community Christmas Dinner 10:51 pm
For many people in our region, 2020 has been full of losing loved ones, losing jobs, and losing hope.
Although, leaders at the Christ Centered Community Church in Johnstown say those difficulties have led people to become more generous than ever before.
Reverend Sylvia King, Pastor at the church, saw that first-hand at their annual “Community Christmas Dinner” last week, where they served over 200 people.
“The community support this year was more than I’ve ever seen in all the years that we have been doing this,” Rev. King said.
So much support…that they have a ton of leftover donations, including gifts, toys, and clothing.
