Helpful Links on the COVID-19 Pandemic

​

Health disparities left Black Americans vulnerable to contracting COVID-19 and dying from it at higher rates, nearly two times greater than their share of the population. 

​

Now more than ever is the time for us to buckle down on the precautions that keep us and our loved ones safe. To fight back, it is vital that we arm ourselves with the facts and continue getting vaccinated, washing our hands, wearing our masks, and social distancing.

​

Adults and children ages 5 and above should consult with their medical professionals regarding the vaccine. Adults should obtain the booster as soon as possible.
