A COVID-19 vaccine will be available soon to all who want it, but supplies will be limited at first. The best way to fight COVID-19 is to start first with vaccinations for those most at risk, reaching more people as the vaccine supply increases from January to June. Keep practicing the 3Ws – wear a mask, wait six feet apart, wash your hands – until everyone has a chance to vaccinate.
