Moving Forward to End the Pandemic
While the pandemic has kept many of us apart, there is new hope to bring us back together—COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccines will help us move closer to ending the pandemic, but we still need to use all the tools we have available to slow the spread of COVID-19:
Vaccination adds an important layer of protection for you, your family, and your loved ones. Wearing masks and social distancing help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough, and no one tool alone is going to stop the pandemic. The combination of getting vaccinated and following CDC’s recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection against COVID-19.

While experts learn more about how COVID-19 vaccination may help reduce spread of the disease in communities, it is important for everyone to continue to follow CDC’s recommendations. CDC will continue to update these recommendations using the latest science to protect communities.
We ask you to join us in protecting yourself, your family and friends, and our community by getting vaccinated when it’s available to you.

And if you get sick, you could spread the disease to friends, family, and others around you. That’s why it’s important to get vaccinated once it’s available to you to make sure your immune system is ready to fight the virus if you are exposed,” says [NAME and TITLE].
Stopping this pandemic will take everyone doing their part, including getting vaccinated and continuing to wear masks and practice social distancing. For more information about COVID-19 vaccination, visit CDC’s FAQs web page: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html.
