Vaccines are likely to be approved for our 12-16 year olds next week. Pres. Biden has set the goal of 70% of Americans to be vaccinated with a first dose by July 4th. Israel saw something like herd immunity kick in around 55-60% vaccination rates, so we are close. Things are moving in the right direction.
So, perhaps it’s time to start hugging friends we haven’t seen in months. And, if you know of folks who are vaccinated but still in isolation away from the pandemic, reach out to see if you might coax them out from behind their anxiety. It’s time to be intentional about testing the waters of a return to whatever our new normal might become.
