•Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic.
•COVID-19 vaccines are effective at helping protect everyone ages 5 years and older against severe disease and death from the virus that causes COVID-19, including known variants currently circulating (e.g., Delta variant).
•People who are fully vaccinated can resume activities that you did before the pandemic. However, people should wear a mask indoors in public if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission. Being fully vaccinated and wearing a mask maximizes protection against COVID-19 infection and reduces the chances of spreading it to others.
•As with other routine vaccines, side effects may occur after vaccination. These are normal and should go away within a few days.
Should you need a boost dose, or an initial dose of COVID 19 vaccine, this is a good opportunity to receive one. Please use the QR code to register.
