PEABODY, MA — If you are a Peabody resident having trouble getting a coronavirus vaccine, or still on the fence about whether you want one, the Peabody Health Department "Vaccine Ambassadors" want to talk to you. The vaccine ambassadors will be out in neighborhoods in the city this summer and at community events talking about the safety and benefits of the vaccine and answering any questions or concerns from unvaccinated city residents. Ambassadors can help those who want a vaccine set up an appointment, while there will be several pop-up vaccination sites able to give the shots on demand. "So, if you see members of our Peabody Health Department in your neighborhood, place of worship, or gym, please stop by and say hello," the Peabody Health Department said. "They look forward to helping you." The ambassadors were scheduled to be at the Torigian YMCA on Wednesday until 6 p.m. and are scheduled to be at Brooksby Farm on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.
