Vaccine Information
The Omicron variant is currently spreading in our communities. Please continue to take precautions and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Investigation into the risks of the Omicron variant is ongoing. Early evidence shows that the Omicron variant is more easily spread than previous variants and is also more resistant to vaccines. However, a third dose/booster is able to increase your protection. Stay updated by visiting the resources linked above.
