Dover Borough - may just seem like a red dot on an election map - but it's much more than that.

It's the home of a Mayor who wouldn't take no for an answer - who sought out help when the state failed to deliver - and he found it - in the form of a journalist and a local health care provider.

"A local mayor is calling out the state saying they could do more to get Pennsylvanians vaccinated." CBS 21 News' story on August 27th about the Dover Mayor's push to launch a creative vaccine campaign - made some waves.

Within hours a message - asking for Dennis Hernley's contact information was received and we quickly made a connection between the man struggling to get help for his community and the health care provider most willing to step up.

"Once CBS 21 News picked up on the story and we did our interview - I've learned you gotta shake trees to get responses and with you guys we shook the right tree." Dover Borough Mayor, Dennis Hernley told CBS 21's Ryan Eldredge. "The story went out and within four hours I think I was getting contacted by Family First Health Network."

President and CEO of Family First Health, Jenny Englerth telling Eldredge, "We heard the plea or ask from the Mayor of Dover and that afternoon we left a message. I think we're all aware that the last 18 months has required leaders to dig deep so the ability to partner with strong leadership is essential."

The plan, which took several weeks to fine-tune, is to meet people in Dover Borough, where they are. Hernley telling Eldredge, "We're going to go door to door in the borough of Dover, we're going to knock on each door, we're going to ask the residents if they have the vaccine. If they would like to get a vaccine, if they say yes, we're going to administer the vaccine right there."

It's happening on October 16th - Family First Health's team of medical professionals - ready to answer questions - give shots - and exchange smiles along with the Borough's Republican Mayor. " This event is not going to be a pro vaccination event or an anti-vaccination event. By the end of the day we're going to say Dover did what it needed to do to move forward in the pandemic. We need to do better for everybody, for our communities and our businesses, for our kids"

"We don't know who's sitting in their house that lacks the transportation or doesn't understand how to navigate the system and so this breaks down all barriers which is really what at Family First Health we are all about." said Englerth.

Hernley says that outreach shouldn't stop and can't stop because of how someone looks, identifies, worships or votes.

He says it's on all of us to do more, to get our communities back on track. "I think if we get the no's - we'll hear an honest, raw answer. We're not going to get any conspiracy theories. We can take that data and readjust our thinking going forward to get the vaccine out there. I think we've been moving laterally way too long with the vaccine rate we need to find a way to move forward"

Englreth adding, "We don't give up on anybody. We're here - we're available and in my experience everyone values their health and the health of their family."

Hernley says he does not fear for his safety, adding that getting reasons for a no - could help outreach efforts yet to be planned throughout the state.
