LEWISTON — The Lewiston Area Public Health Committee is grateful that COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Maine have significantly declined, however the pandemic still has an impact on the lives of Mainers and others throughout the nation.
To promote vaccinations, the LAPHC is seeking pictures of Lewiston residents holding up a sign that says or shows why they chose to be vaccinated, either in words or picture.
Those who would like to submit a sign and be part of the “My Why” vaccination slideshow for public circulation, send your submission to dottie@lewistonmaine.gov, and include name, address, and contact phone number or email. The contact information will not be publicly used.
The deadline is July 1, and each participant, but submitting, is agreeing that their submission may be shared on social media, Lewiston’s website, and in efforts to encourage vaccination. Such submissions are on a volunteer basis for no monetary gain. Submission selection will be at the discretion of the LAPHC, and participants are asked to be sensitive in their wording, respecting the fact that people have different viewpoints.
