Health Protocol

"On multiple occasions, people have asked me concerning Covid-19 immunization.  More than 3 billion people have received at least 1 dose world wide.  Today, 29 October 2021, the world surpassed 5 million Covid-19 deaths."

"If you do not have a medical condition that prevents you from receiving immunizations, Just do it."

Masks

Masks prevent the spread of airborne illness in two ways.  First, a mask reduces your ability to infect others.  This is the most important reason for using masks.  Second, a mask reduces the chance you might inhale pathogens from others.

Covid-19 Vaccines
