Urgent Call for Vaccination
See letter from CEOs of 10 regional health systems.
Across the state, more people are unvaccinated against COVID-19 than vaccinated. This is allowing the more contagious delta variant of the virus to spread rapidly across our region.
Cases of COVID-19 are rapidly increasing and filling hospitals across our region. Those who are getting very sick, requiring hospitalization, and dying from COVID-19 are almost all people who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
People who have been vaccinated can be infected, and they can spread the virus to others. The vaccine appears to be working well to prevent serious illness and hospitalization except in those with underlying conditions that weaken their immune system and its response to the vaccine.
Our hospital emergency departments and walk-in clinics are seeing heavy volume as a result. Thank you for your understanding during a trying time for our patients, our employees and our community.
Please, if you have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19, do so as soon as possible. Please take other precautions including wearing masks in indoor settings and avoiding large crowds.
