LA Uses an Emergency Alert System to Urge Citizens to Get Vaccinated
The city of Los Angeles on Wednesday used its emergency alert system to urge local residents to get vaccinated as officials express growing concern over a new surge in cases due in part to the highly transmissible delta variant.
Multiple LA-based journalists and residents shared screenshots on Twitter of the Public Safety Alert they received on their phone, reading “COVID cases are rapidly rising.”
“Protect yourself, loved ones, and your community by getting vaccinated now,” the alert from the LA city government continued. “Vaccines are free, safe, and highly effective.”
