Lilly Huynh, a seventh-grader at Randolph Community Middle School, was named the winning artist in the Randolph Public Health Youth Vaccine Artwork Contest.
The committee created the contest for Randolph students in grades sixth through 12th to submit vaccine artwork to encourage their peers to get vaccinated.
Huynh’s vaccine outreach digital artwork featured manga characters holding signs touting the effectiveness and importance of the COVID-19 vaccine.
