Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces daily. Monitor your health daily. CDC recommends  getting a COVID-19 vaccine as a safer choice.” (CDC)

Currently, three vaccines are authorized and recommended in the United States to prevent COVID-19, Pfizer-BioNTech Moderna Johnson & Johnson / Janssen  VIDEO: JHU’s Daily COVID-19 Data in Motion: September 5, 2021
