Good morning, Good Day readers!
Here’s some good news we’ve had for a while: We have a bunch of tools to fight this pandemic, including highly effective vaccines that help ward off severe illness, hospitalization and death, and most times even the mildest of illness from the ever-evolving coronavirus.
And in some new good news, yesterday the Food and Drug Administration extended full approval to the Pfizer vaccine, deeming it safe and effective against COVID-19 for those 16 and older after reviewing extensive data and research. The organization has never in its history had “so much evidence to judge a shot’s safety.”
From vaccines, socially distancing, wearing masks, washing our hands and supporting our immune systems, we can work together for our community in pursuit of brighter good days.
