We hear you, Chattanooga

I know this has been a frustrating week for many, especially those who went to great lengths to get in line for the long-awaited COVID-19 vaccine only to be turned away.

I just want everyone to know that we hear you – even if we’re so overwhelmed that we accidentally miss/forget to respond to your questions (please don’t hesitate to send a reminder!) – and are working hard to get you answers. We want this pandemic to end just as badly as everyone. Every day is another step in that direction. We will get there faster if we keep doing what we know works – masking, distancing and hand washing.
