Just a reminder that I am hosting a virtual town hall later today on COVID-19 vaccines and variants. New strains of the coronavirus are appearing in our communities, and the counties in our district are ramping up plans to distribute vaccination shots to keep us safe. I want you to have the latest information and hope you tune in for the discussion on my website. You can even submit questions here in advance.

Our panelists will be:

• Epidemiologist Dr. George Rutherford, UCSF School of Medicine and UC Berkeley School of Public Health
• Dr. Naveena Bobba, Deputy Director of Health-San Francisco Department of Public Health
• Srija Srinivasan, Deputy Health Chief-San Mateo County Health

I look forward to what these experts have to say.
