Kick Off the New Year with us on Jan. 11
Much has been written and said of the year 2020, so I’ll spare you all of the oft repeated rhetoric. What I know about 2021 is that we will start the year much like the way we ended the last, and dive right into issues we know need our attention.

JOIN US ON MONDAY:
Message from the Chair
Although this message will be delivered in January at our first-ever virtual Annual Dinner, I am writing to you just days after the declaration of Delaware’s own Joe Biden as the President-Elect.

Delaware's COVID-19 Vaccination Plan
The Delaware Division of Public Health is working with federal, state and local stakeholders to implement an efficient and equitable distribution of one or more COVID-19 vaccines to all Delaware communities. It is the goal of DPH to make safe and effective COVID-19 vaccination available through a phased allocation, or rollout, first to health care workers, including those who care for vulnerable populations, and other first responders, followed closely by vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure workers, and then expand opportunities that are inclusive of all who live or work in Delaware.
