#Mahalo piha to all those who #protect us. 🥰 It's their #commitment to protecting themselves, their #ohana and their #Oahu that help stop the spread of #COVID19 in our #island home. ✋🏼

Getting a #COVID19 #vaccine can help protect you by creating an #antibody response in your body without you having to become infected. oneoahu.org/vaccine Even after getting #vaccinated, continue to wear a #mask, stay 6 feet from others, avoid crowds & wash your hands. 😷👏🏼

#COVID19 vaccines are an important tool to help stop the pandemic. As of January 25, 2021, more than 19 million people had received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Of those, over 3 million had received both doses and are fully vaccinated. More: bit.ly/CDT_vaccine

The COVID-19 vaccination process is estimated to take no more than 30 minutes. Plan for extra time as you will be asked to stay at the site for 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine. If you previously had any severe allergy or anaphylaxis, you will be monitored for 30 minutes.

A new MMWR finds that K-12 schools can limit the spread of #COVID19 through masks & other preventive measures, even with high rates of COVID-19 in the community. More: bit.ly/MMWR12621.

Vaccinating long-term care facility residents will help save the lives of those who are most at risk of dying from COVID-19. Track the rollout of the vaccine in these facilities across the country, including vaccination numbers in your state: bit.ly/CDTltcvax.

Risks of transmission are higher when two people are stationary and in close contact to each other for a while, like on a beach blanket, rather than people who are walking. We encourage you to get outdoors, keep your distance and a mask handy. How are you enjoying the outdoors?

We can do it, #Oahu! ✌🏼 #MaskUp when you're in public, especially when you're indoors and outdoors when you cannot maintain 6 feet of physical distance from people who are not part of your household. #Mahalo for your #kokua in slowing the #spread of #COVID19! 🤩

Some recent variants of the virus that causes #COVID19 spread more easily, which may lead to more cases. More cases could put more strain on healthcare resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths.

In Hawaii, 137,100 vaccinations for COVID-19 were given at sites throughout the islands as of Jan. 29 initial data. For more on the vaccine and to find out if you're eligible to register, go to HawaiiCOVID19.com/vaccine.
