Letter: The COVID-19 vaccine is essential to keep our communities safe
Infectious disease physician and vaccine expert Dr. Paul Carson stated: “The only way we can come close to getting back to normal is if a large majority of us are vaccinated. Otherwise, expect ongoing mini-outbreaks, more variants, more disruptions and cancellations, and a prolonged need for mask requirements.”
