Sickle Cell Disease
We have quite a hill to climb to overcome this virus and get back to our pre-pandemic lives. Herd immunity is the goal. I m sure you ve heard that expression.
Herd immunity occurs when enough people become immune to a disease to make its spread unlikely. As a result, the entire community is protected, even those who are not themselves immune. Herd immunity is usually achieved through vaccination, but it can also occur through natural infection.
Pretty plain and simple; you either get COVID or you get the vaccine, that s the only way we get bay to the life I m sure we all miss. Not to mention the older members of our families who we haven t hugged for a very long time.
Law enforcement and the Better Business Bureau are warning against sharing photos of your CDC Covid vaccine card.
You ve just gotten the Covid-19 vaccine. Congratulations. That is something of which to be very proud. The inescapable truth is that the only way to get to fully restoring life to what it was like before the pandemic began, you either have to be infected, or get the vaccine. Herd immunity is the goal. Experts say herd immunity requires 70% of the population to have either be infected or vaccinated.
When you get vaccinated you get a card that will contain your information. Some of the spaces on that card will contain some self-identifying information. You may think you ve blocked all the information, but it still may make you vulnerable to an attack on your identity. The risk is too great. Online criminals don t need us to make their jobs easier.

There are only two ways we get this pandemic completely behind us; that s by being infected by the virus or getting the vaccine. Listen to Rockford doctor, Bill Renk, detail our road ahead.
