It turns out, the Commissioner is right For older Americans as well as those with chronic disease, the new COVID19 vaccines will be a lifesaver For everyone else, it's just a good idea Know someone high risk? Help them get vaccinated. Set up an appointment. Give them a ride
The updated COVID-19 vaccines have become available over the past few days. I rolled up my sleeve to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine and I am encouraging my family and friends to do the same. Here’s why you should also consider doing so: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@AACTplus thanks you for this information. We are NOT shifting our mission from COVID-19 because we know it's impact on black and brown populations. Our community based organizations will CONTINUE to get this information out to the community and work to keep saving lives.
“Deaths in the US have doubled, hospitalizations have tripled, ER visits have quadrupled in the past month (from #COVID)." Lung damage, heart attacks, strokes, all increased by Covid. We need to rethink schools and workplaces to prevent future pandemics.
