“I hope more and more people will continue to be vaccinated and share their stories with family and friends,” Reed said. Those interested in sharing their vaccination story can do so by visiting IVaccinateForThem.com or by using #IVaccinateForThem on social media.
The vaccines have already had a noticeable impact on school systems. With vaccines now open to everyone 16 and older, Muncie Community Schools hopes the positive effect will only grow.
“Thanks to our community health organizations, we’ve been able to partner on vaccination clinics for our teachers and staff,” said Lee Ann Kwiatkowski, CEO/director of public education at MCS. “As a result, we have not had one positive case for a teacher or staff member all month, and we’re hopeful that continues.”
