COVID-19 vaccines: It’s time to roll up your sleeve
Dolores Gomez
Nearly one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, most of us have become accustomed to wearing masks, social distancing, virtual schooling and remote working. We have all made sacrifices to protect ourselves and one another, but there is another very important step you can take to help end this pandemic and get back to normal. As soon as you have the opportunity, please consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
The first COVID-19 vaccines were granted emergency use authorization from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in December. At Memorial Medical Center, we are proud that more than 80 percent of our healthcare heroes have already stepped up and decided to get vaccinated so we can help bring this pandemic to an end and continue advancing our mission of Making Communities Healthier.
SageWest Health Care received an initial allocation of COVID-19 vaccines and is in the process of distributing them in accordance with prioritization guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the federal government, state and local public health partners. Vaccine administration has begun with our frontline healthcare workers.
SageWest Health Care is pleased to be taking this next exciting step toward ending the pandemic and advancing our mission of Making Communities Healthier.
