Galen Gates won't be able to join us at the reunion, but bless him for keeping us all in his thoughts as we prepare to gather. I recently received this email from him that he wants me to share with you all:
Hi Nancy,
While we will not be able to make it to the reunion this year I hope you will encourage everyone to be sure to get their second booster before the reunion. It’s worth it.
Recently, we were in the mountains of North Carolina participating in a week-long study group. No one could attend without proving they had their vaccinations. (One of the leaders was replaced and two participants denied due to insufficient proof of vaccinations.) We thought all was well for those remaining.
Nonetheless, Linda and I came down with Covid. We were due for the additional booster in early March (duh). The period of efficacy for these vaccines is shorter than I thought, apparently it is four months – as the doctors say!
Upon our return (4/17), three of three (historically) health-conscious friends had not gotten their boosters (but did the next day).
“We” have become far too complacent. Today, over 50 percent of hospitalized Covid patients were previously vaccinated.
Stay vigilant,
Galen, the latest poster-child for Stuuped
