From the beginning of the pandemic, a top priority of public health officials and policy makers has been ensuring that our health care system does not become overwhelmed. Rising COVID-19 cases, the coming peak of flu season, and the increased social interactions that tend to happen around the holidays have many medical professionals concerned about the weeks ahead. Our hospitals are getting fuller.

As individuals, some things are out of our control. However, we can make a commitment to a cause bigger than ourselves. Taking proven, preventive measures--even if they’re inconvenient, even if we don’t feel sick, even if we see others making different choices—will make our community healthier and give our loved ones more protection.

A Vaccine’s Role In Ending The Pandemic
Wearing masks, social distancing, and other mitigation measures help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others. Vaccines are another important tool because they work with your immune system so it will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. The combination of people getting vaccinated, once one is available, and each of us following CDC’s recommendations to protect yourself and others will help our community slow the spread of COVID-19.

Some people have questions about the safety of a COVID-19 vaccine, once it’s available. Others do not feel it’s necessary. If you are a skeptic, we invite you to learn more about the ways in which vaccines have been safely used to protect people from disease for generations.
