Reminder of the importance of vaccinations:

Vaccination levels in the region remain low and the number of cases per day remains high. Getting vaccinated for COVID-19 isn’t just about protecting yourself, it’s also about protecting your family, friends and community. Vaccination is critical to consider prior to large gatherings, which can lead to super-spreading events, clusters, hospitalizations and serious illness in people who have not been vaccinated.
