Community Connection
Community Connection is a video series that highlights the different people and organizations in our community. Each episode, Mayor Bruce Teague interviews guests about a variety of issues that are important to our residents.
Iowa is now in Phase 1B of the state's vaccination distribution plan. In this episode, Susan Vileta of Johnson County Public Health answers key questions about the vaccine process; who is included in this new priority group, how it will be distributed, and the timeline for vaccinating this phase.
