Our COVID outbreak is moving in the right direction. Thank you to everyone who has been vaccinated and made all the hard sacrifices over the last year and a half to get us where we are today. Getting vaccinated clearly is the most effective way to keep us moving toward healthy lives and a healthy economy.
