Today I got my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Hynes Convention Center mass vaccination site.
The vaccine is safe, effective and it saves lives. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, your family and our community.

•Wear a face mask
•Keep at least 6 feet between yourself and others
•Wash your hands often
•Avoid parties or crowds
•Get tested for regularly

Bob Lippman is enrolled in a clinical trial for Alzheimer's. His wife, Marlene Lippman, said that their main incentive was to move research forward. "There wouldn’t be a Covid vaccine if people had not volunteered," she said. nyti.ms/3sFVfwN

A great blue heron came to visit the pond today. While she was welcomed by Sophia Snow Place residents, the red-winged blackbirds and mallards seemed less enthusiastic. Enjoying Spring!
