“Several Hillsborough County Public Schools students produced a video that includes testimonials to support COVID-19 vaccinations for teens. The students, who all attend Robinson High School, are board members with the Teen Connect Youth Advisory Board through Healthy Start Coalition of Hillsborough County.
