Johnson County health officials say they are being inundated with questions about the county’s rollout of COVID-19 vaccine.

To answer questions and attempt to allay any confusion, the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment will host a public information session Thursday night, live on its Facebook page.

- When: Thursday, Jan. 21, 5:30 p.m.
- Where: The county’s Facebook page, facebook.com/jocogov

Areola is expected to discuss details of how the county plans to distribute vaccines to complete Phase 1 and begin entering Phase 2 of the statewide vaccine rollout.
