Our lives have been turned upside down by COVID-19. We won’t get through this unless everyone takes part in getting a vaccine once it becomes available. It’s also important to get up-to-date on all vaccines, particularly flu and pneumonia which could make COVID-19 even worse. Be an example and get vaccinated.
