Protecting our Neighbors and Communities

The pandemic served as a stark reminder that we can’t take our health for granted.

Even as we stand on the other side of the most recent pandemic, the importance of immunizations remains clear. Vaccines remain our most effective safeguard against severe illness and hospitalization caused by viruses like COVID-19 and influenza. Additionally, remembering simple yet effective practices, such as thorough handwashing and staying home when sick, strengthens our defense against contagious respiratory illnesses.
