“We’re hopeful that with the new administration’s plan to increase the production of vaccines, we will be able to speed up this rollout in the months to come. Until that time, it is critical that everyone continue wearing a mask, social distancing, and taking all possible precautions to avoid contracting or spreading COVID-19.”
