CHW release – Coos Health & Wellness would like to congratulate the winners in Coos County from the Take Your Shot, Oregon! vaccine campaign. These winners were notified by Oregon Health Authority that they had won $10,000. Our winners are: Pamela Calandrino, Delicia Cunningham, Lorraine Felton, Diana Lapp, Kari Leffler, Michael O’Flaherty, Britany Sadler, Deana Scott, & Katherine Walter Coos Health & Wellness encourages you to seek a vaccine appointment if you have not done so already. With current case of COVID-19 increasing, we are very concerned for our community members who remain unvaccinated or who are not able to be vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool in overcoming this pandemic. Findings from the extended timeframe of this study add to accumulating evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective and should prevent most infections — but that fully vaccinated people who still get COVID-19 are likely to have milder, shorter illness and appear to be less likely to spread the virus to others. These benefits are another important reason to get vaccinated.” says CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH Coos Health & Wellness website contains additional information about Covid-19 vaccines and ways you can schedule an appointment to receive your Covid-19 vaccine. https://cooshealthandwellness.org/public-health/covid-19-vaccine-information/
