Are you encouraging everyone to get the vaccine without question ... so without russian if you meet the criteria for three of different vaccines.

I definitely am recommending everybody.

One thing we've heard about lately over the past several days a lo about the j&j vaccine, which is a one shot only kind of situation is this as good as the two partners that we have already been subjected to the pfizer and the madonna yes it is a great question that everybody first thing i'll say is that were so excited to have the option i did j&j has some advantages to the other two tha we have been using up to now, in terms of how to award how to handle and like you said, the one in terms of the efficacy it's as thick as the other two in preventing severe coping disease.

And most importantly, all three of them are effective preventing coping death.

So yes it is eyes good you out of the three vaccines a post about mad a schedule or an appointment ge to get there first shot or in some cases are only shot i advise him on which we choose j&j or one of the other two.

So since since there equally effective change.

I have been telling people to choose the on that becomes available to you first.

Obviously, the social distancing wearing the masks th handwashing in the bible perhaps get your appointment scheduled to get worries vaccines in the order is or i do it anybody any good.

Sit over here behind this to connect so we definitely need to continue that for those who have been fully vaccinated.
