And, just as impressively, nearly half of the entire U.S. population (including children ages 11 and younger, who aren't even eligible to be vaccinated yet) has received at least one dose of the Pfizer, Moderna, or J&J/Janssen vaccines. It's no wonder that new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have been plummeting across the country. We're not just flattening the curve, we are absolutely crushing it.
The work isn't done, though. We must continue to urge, encourage, and cajole the unvaccinated to get their shots too. This includes members of several state legislatures that have been rushing to ban mask mandates ...
If you haven’t gotten your COVID-19 vaccine and are heatedly debating if there’s still a need to wear a mask, you’re totally missing the point. #ThisIsOurShot #GetVaccinatedASAP
