“We are grateful to everyone for the tremendous progress we have made over the past year, yet we are not out of the woods yet,” said Barbara Ferrer, director of public health. If you are planning to meet with others on this holiday, please take reasonable precautions to avoid transmission of the virus, especially if you are gathering with individuals and children who have not yet been vaccinated. If you haven’t been vaccinated, consider getting vaccinated now to increase your protection as other public health precautions have been lifted; Talk to a friend or loved one who has been vaccinated and ask them about their experience. Vaccines provide us with the best way to end this epidemic that has plagued us for so many months.”
