[Selwyn M. Vickers @DrVickersMSK]

Alabama, we can do better. We have the resources and tools to do better. Our health care workers are overburdened and our hospital is at capacity with ICU beds.

Wear a mask. Get the vaccine. Social distance. Do something differently today than you did yesterday.

[UAB Medicine @uabmedicine]

“Now, 18 months into this pandemic, we have real-world observational data supporting the use of masks in both children and adults.” - Rachael Lee, M.D., assistant professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at UAB

Q:If I can still catch Delta, what's the point in getting vaccinated?

A:The vaccine protects you from extreme sickness, hospitalization and even death, @UABSOM's @msaagmd explains — it could mean the difference between cold-like symptoms and a ventilator.https://t.co/LMT5i35cZ0
