During the Omicron surge case rates for BIPOC Vermonters were 2-3x higher than among White Vermonters. It is imperative that our community has access to resources like tests, vaccinations, and boosters. Our BIPOC clinic this weekend is the perfect time to bring the whole family!

Not only is it important to inform close contacts if you test positive, be sure to report self-test results as well (positive or negative)! Results are confidential and help @healthvermont track how the virus is moving through the community. survey.alchemer.com/s3/65077…
Let’s face it. Some of us, even if we’re vaccinated, will contract COVID. It’s a highly contagious respiratory virus. It’s lousy, but it’s not a personal failing. Don’t let embarrassment hold you back from letting your close contacts know—that keeps everyone safe. 📱
ALT Two columns. Left side says, "Getting COVID Is" and the items on the list are, "A cruddy experience; lonely; inconvenient; exhausting (physically, emotionally); expensive if you keep spraying perfume to check your sense of smell." Right side says, "Getting COVID Is NOT" and the items on the list are, "A moral failing; an excuse to blame or lash out at others; a reason to feel ashamed; something you should try to contract to 'get it over with'; an excuse to FaceTime your ex."
