  2. And the CDC just stated vaccinated people do not need masks…even inside & in crowds (w/ some exceptions).
    Thank you to all the people who got their jabs and helped us reach this goal.

  4. The vaccine is highly effective in protecting people from COVID-19. It is even more effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths from the virus. If you’re not vaccinated - stay masked. Get vaccinated.
