The Fall River Mayor will be joined by the city's Health and Human Services Secretary for a town hall event Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 pm. 

 

Mayor Paul Coogan and Tess Curren will host the event through FRGTV's channel 18, their Facebook and website. 

 

“The main topic we want to hit is to make people understand that the vaccine is safe, it’s the way to go - it’s our way out of this crisis," Mayor Coogan said. "We encourage people to get it.”

 

The city's leader wants to use this time as an opportunity to bring awarness to the trio of vaccines in hopes that those who are apprehensive will begin to think differently.  

 

“We’ll have some medical people there talking about the upside," he said. "We don’t want people being afraid of the vaccine.”

 

the Mayor did say both he and his wife secured a dose of the vaccine at Fall River's Liberal Club.
