Greater Peoria League of Women Voters Program on ZIKA VIRUS
“What is the Zika Virus and Should We be Worried?” will be discussed at Drinks & Dialogue, a free program hosted monthly by the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria.
The public is invited to participate in the dialogue, at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 16, at the Hearth Restaurant, 4604 N Prospect Rd, Peoria Heights.
The Zika virus has been in the news, and the reports have raised many questions and concerns. Meredith Littell, RN, BSN, Assistant Director of Infectious Disease from the Peoria City/County Health Department will share information about the Zika Virus, including areas with Zika, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
The dialogue about the Zika Virus will include up to date information obtained from the CDC, and will identify countries and territories where the Zika Virus has been active, mode of transmission and vector control.
Drinks & Dialogue provides an opportunity for people to share opinions and ideas, ask questions and become more aware of issues at the local, state and national level. There’s no cost to participate, and refreshments are available to buy.
Drinks & Dialogue is offered monthly, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, for one hour starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Hearth, with local, state, and national political topics.
