Vaccination is the safest most effective and most reliable way to keep yourself, your family and your community healthy and safe from COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines are 95% effective and have undergone rigorous safety testing.
Vaccination gives us hope that the pandemic will end, but with only 100-200 doses of vaccine coming to Warm Springs each week, it will take many months to get everyone vaccinated. in the meantime, we need to continue to make all efforts to protect from the spread of COVID-19. Wear a mask, physically distance from others, wash your hands, avoid gatherings and stay home as much as you can.
