A new national public health effort created to foster vaccine education and to combat misinformation has selected President Brian W. Casey as one of the leaders featured in the group鈥檚 social media awareness campaign. 

Dubbed 鈥楥ount Me In,鈥 the education project features dozens of leaders from business, media, healthcare, and education to provide individuals and organizations with information to build confidence in authorized COVID-19 vaccines, and to motivate and inspire people to collectively fight the pandemic.

鈥淓ach of us doing our part to be vaccinated is a critical component of supporting the health and wellbeing of our community in Hamilton and around the world,鈥 said President Casey. 鈥淎s I have said since the start of the pandemic, we can overcome all obstacles, no matter how difficult, by working together with a spirit of altruism.鈥
