DO YOUR PART. GET THE SHOT! THE COVID-19 VACCINE WILL PROTECT YOU—AND ALSO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY.
T
he pandemic has been a scary and often confusing time—but hope is here. Vaccines that protect against COVID-19 are safe, they work and they’re ready for you. When you get the COVID-19 vaccine, you’re taking care of yourself and the people around you, too. That’s because the more people who are vaccinated, the more difficult it is for the coronavirus to travel from person to person. For now, we still need to wear masks in crowded settings and wash hands frequently, even after getting vaccinated. But the day when we can hug and shake hands freely again is coming ever closer. At Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, we want you to stay safe and healthy, and we’ve rolled up our sleeves to prove it, as these photos of some of our leaders show. They got the shot: clockwise from bottom left, Darrell K. Terry Sr., President and CEO of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey; Reverend Dr. Marilyn Harris, Vice President of Ambulatory Care Services; and Atiya Jaha-Rashidi, MHA, RN, Chief Equity Officer and Vice President of Community Relations.
