Get vaccinated to save your life.
Get vaccinated to do your part to stop COVID-19 and end its deadly march around the globe.
Get vaccinated to save your wife, mother, son, daughter, grandparent, friend, neighbor or coworker from contracting COVID-19 and dying from a virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of people around the world.
Get vaccinated because you have looked at all the evidence for and against vaccination and decided that vaccination will save your life.
Get vaccinated because you believe in modern medicine. The same scientific research and the same dedicated people who perfected the medicine that saves victims of traumatic accidents and heart attacks also created the COVID-19 vaccinations.
Get vaccinated because you are not going to let fear and mindless hysteria keep you from saving your life and the lives of people you love.
Get vaccinated because you are too smart to take anything you read on the internet at face value.
Get vaccinated because you know your health has nothing to do with politics or conspiracy theories.
Get vaccinated because you understand that personal choice, unless you live alone and completely self-sufficient on a desert island, equates to the choice of protecting yourself and, in turn, protecting everyone who comes in contact with you.
The United States is one of the few countries, reported The New York Times on Monday, with sufficient COVID-19 vaccines to protect every citizen.
Yet 30 percent of adults, according to the Times, have not received a single dose — and nearly half the population remains unvaccinated.
COVID-19 is a killer capable of taking lives with no respect for political viewpoint, outlook on personal freedom or internet-driven fear. Vaccines are the only weapon capable of stopping the virus.
“COVID-19 vaccines offer a safe and reliable path to immunity against both the older strains of coronavirus and against emerging strains, especially the new delta variant.
“The COVID-19 vaccines aren’t perfect, but they produce strong antibody and T-cell responses that offer a safer and more reliable means of protection than natural immunity — especially with new variants on the loose,” Dr. Jennifer T. Grier, University of South Carolina clinic assistant professor in biomedical sciences, wrote for the Associated Press on July 13.
Get vaccinated to ensure kids can return to school in the fall and businesses can fully reopen and bring people back to work.
Get vaccinated because vaccinations are the only weapon allowing us to ultimately conquer COVID-19.
