Cases of Covid 19 hospitalizations are going down, but that’s no reason to become complacent. With two vaccines available and several more in the works, you may be eligible for the vaccine. If you’re a senior over the age of 65 you can sign up for the vaccine. If you are a health care worker with direct contact to patients you are eligible for the vaccine. If you are a resident or staff at a long term care facility or are extremely vulnerable to Covid-19, you are eligible for the vaccine.<\/p>\n
