I got vaccinated against COVID-19 to keep my family and friends safe. What about you? 💉 📷: @reaganblake (3/3) ... Working on the frontlines of this wave of the pandemic has been a surreal and tragic experience. I have watched countless people come through our Emergency Room doors, all with different versions of the same story: shortness of breath, chest pain, difficulty breathing, a bad cough, etc, and I’ve watched people of all ages get admitted inpatient or to the ICU as a result of it. The best protection we all have against COVID-19 is to get vaccinated. The vaccines prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID. They’re completely free and available to everyone ages 5 and older, even if you don't have health insurance or aren't a U.S. citizen. For those of you in the Chicago area, go to bit.ly/ChicagoCOVIDshot to register to receive your COVID vaccination or booster today. • • #ad
