Viruses are opportunistic and continuously evolve when given a chance to do so. As we have seen over the last few weeks, COVID is gaining strength and we must not let our guard down. Wear a mask, stay home when sick, go for testing when needed and get vaccinated. (4/5)

Currently, 79.4% of eligible ABs are now protected with at least 1 dose of vaccine. 71.3% have completed their series with 2 doses. We all need to work together to take away COVID’s strength. Vaccines are our strongest ally. Book your shot today at https://t.co/AD3bxxs4BE (5/5)
