“You don’t know what’s in that.”

Some did it for their health, some to travel, and others because they needed to keep their jobs. Getting vaccinated opens a lot of doors for you. Learn about all the things that you can start doing once you get the vaxx.
Our affiliates have seen the impact of COVID-19 firsthand. They helped families that lost income during the lockdowns, kept our kids’ heads up during virtual learning, and supported community members who lost loved ones to the virus.
