Chapter 1: The Progress Made

As we approach another winter, the landscape of COVID-19 in our nation has markedly improved. Despite potential increases in cases, the overall situation is much less dire than it once was. The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines has played a pivotal role in this transformation, preventing a more serious crisis.

To safeguard your health and that of your loved ones, consider getting a bivalent vaccine booster.

Two years can make a significant difference. Looking back at 2022, I find myself filled with gratitude for both scientific advancements and the resilience of individuals. The introduction of bivalent boosters from Pfizer and Moderna has provided enhanced protection against the Omicron variant, with evidence showing these vaccines to be both safe and effective. This is a vital step in protecting our well-being.

COVID-19 continues to pose a threat, even as society gradually returns to normal. Recent reports indicate that some individuals who experienced moderate cases have encountered complications like blood clots. It's important to note that without vaccination, the consequences could have been substantially worse.

Vaccinated individuals are generally less likely to face severe health complications. As time goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that the medical community's stance on the safety and efficacy of vaccines is validated.

This year, I am thankful for the improvements in public health. I urge everyone to consider receiving the bivalent vaccine booster to further safeguard your health. May we extend our thoughts and prayers to the innocent people across our nation and the globe.
