Get vaccinated in time for summer fun

Why do we never tire of advising people to get vaccinated for Covid? Well, it’s because the vaccine is still the absolute best way to protect yourself and others from getting this extremely nasty disease. If you have summer travel plans, you’ll definitely want to get your vaccination before boarding a train or plane or getting in line with hundreds of your fellow germ-covered humans at some festival or fair. CommUnityCare is offering free Covid-19 vaccines and boosters to people ages 5 and older. To schedule an appointment, visit CommUnityCare’s online portal. And Austin Public Health has decided to sweeten the deal by providing gift cards (while supplies last) to anyone who receives any Covid-19 vaccine, whether it’s their first or second shot or booster.
