What’s the end game with COVID-19?
As the virus continues to circulate globally and locally, the hope of viral eradication, or zero COVID and a return to normal pre-pandemic life, appears highly unlikely.
Consequently, a more realistic goal or end game is living and existing safely with Covid for now.
As we increase our vaccination threshold, less persons will be at risk of severe disease, hospitalization and death; therefore, becoming infected with COVID will be less threatening to our lives and livelihoods.
The path to safely living and existing with COVID-19 is through vaccination.
Our clinics are now open to anyone ages 12 and over for vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine and anyone 18 and over with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
NO APPOINTMENT IS NEEDED !
Just walk in at your convenience during the designated hours to be vaccinated.
We currently have 67% of adults fully vaccinated and 75.8% covered with at least one shot. Also, 7% of our 12-17 year olds have already been brought in for their first shot and 2% are fully vaccinated. So, let us continue to increase our population immunity threshold and use the non-pharmaceutical protocols to rid ourselves of the stranglehold that COVID-19 has on every aspect of our lives.
Please go out and get vaccinated!
