We remain concerned about vaccination rates for young people, especially now that summer is here, the state is opening up, and fun activities like music festivals are starting up again.

getting better, but still preventable deaths and infections. ask the teens and adults you know if they have been vaccinated for this virus. drive them to get a vax. mask up frequently.
