The final session of a three-week series of Steamboat Conversations virtual town hall panels on the COVID-19 vaccine will take place from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Friday.
The third session will focus on Routt County’s immunization plan for the COVID-19 vaccine. The first doses of the vaccine arrived at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat Springs on Wednesday.

As with previous panels, there will be short informational presentations provided at the beginning of the session by Krall, Smith and Cataldi followed by a question-and-answer segment.
Steamboat Pilot & Today Editor Lisa Schlichtman will moderate the panel, and questions can be emailed to Schlichtman at lschlichtman@steamboatpilot.com.
The vaccine series of panels is being held in partnership with Steamboat Pilot & Today, the city of Steamboat Springs and Routt County.
