The vaccine is here, but don’t let your guard down

I’m going to keep this short and sweet, because it’s been a whirlwind of a day. The first COVID-19 vaccines arrived in Chattanooga on Thursday, and it was quite an emotional experience watching our local health care workers on the front line of the pandemic receiving their first doses. Even though this is great news, it’s important to remember that COVID-19 is shattering records daily across the region. This is no time to let your guard down.

Until next week,
