As your pastor, I strongly recommend the COVID-19 vaccine.

The United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says all available options for the vaccine are safe. They were developed using science that has been around for decades.

COVID-19 vaccines are not experimental. They went through all the required stages of clinical trials. Extensive testing and monitoring have shown that these vaccines are safe and effective.

COVID-19 vaccines have received and continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history. You can learn more about how federal partners are ensuring COVID-19 vaccines work at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/effectiveness.html

All the available COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19.

Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Jesus said: “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)

Please, protect our loved ones, healthcare workers and give our community a chance for economic recovery.
