“We know that our neighbors want to keep themselves, their families and loved ones, and our community as safe as possible.  With the evolving nature of the virus, the increase in prevalence of the Delta variant, and updated CDC guidance, there is a lot of information we receive every day—and a lot of questions,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher.  “I am grateful to Representative Ann Johnson and Dr. Peter Hotez for joining me to provide an update on where we are now and to address the many concerns in our community.”  

Congresswoman Fletcher added: “We can all do our part to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe, and that starts with masking up and getting vaccinated!”
