December is here! Have you received all your vaccinations to make this end-of-year a healthy one? Miami has COVID-19 vaccines and boosters and flu vaccines available. The recent news of the COVID Omicron variant reminds us that we cannot let our guard down. Vaccination is the most effective tool to combat COVID.

We are closely monitoring the developing situation regarding the Omicron variant. As more information becomes available, we will consider the potential impact of Omicron on our community’s safety and well-being. In the meantime, please continue to follow all current COVID-19 prevention guidelines – wear face coverings indoors, maintain distance and limit the size of gatherings, wash hands properly and frequently, get vaccinated and after 6 months get your booster shot.
