It’s time to act — get your COVID-19 shots

You step on a rusty nail and get a tetanus shot. Simple. Look at this delta variant like a rusty nail just waiting for you or someone close to you to step on.

Actually, you don’t have to wait for it to happen. You can get your vaccine and not have to worry about it. Smallpox, polio, diphtheria.

We have survived because these vaccines became available after many had died or became afflicted for the rest of their lives. Now, closing in on 750,000 people dead, not to mention the millions affected by these deaths, isn’t it time to act? Get your shots.
