Hope is on the horizon with a COVID-19 vaccine

An FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine designed to prevent the COVID-19 virus is the best hope for ending the pandemic. With two vaccines on the horizon, chances are you have some questions about the vaccine. We are committed to keeping you and our community informed and educated so you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe. That's why we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand how the vaccines were created, some of the safety protocols the CDC and FDA have in place and the current plans for distribution. We will continue to update information regarding COVID-19 vaccination as it becomes available, so be sure to check our COVID-19 Vaccine page frequently for the latest updates.
