A reminder to our young people that they are never too young to know about COVID and to protect themselves so that they can continue to do the things they want to do during this ongoing pandemic. The pandemic is not over. Young people are still contracting COVID and getting really sick. Even if you don’t get sick – who could you have potentially exposed? Young Enough to Know is a reminder that for you to be safe this summer, you will need to know your status – get tested and get vaccinated. We understand that COVID was hard on everyone, but it was especially tough for young people. We are launching the page to help you and your parents/guardians get the facts about COVID and to use them to get your life as back to normal as it can be…safely.

The Omicron variant, which is now dominant in the United States and spreading faster than any variant yet, has already pushed daily coronavirus case counts higher than the peak of the recent Delta wave. By most estimates, the country is in for a significant winter surge.
The omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, discovered just a few weeks ago, is poised to dominate Covid-19 cases around the world. It’s a stunning new twist to the pandemic saga that has countries scrambling to prepare.
There’s no doubt the ongoing COVID 19 crisis unmasked deep-rooted racial inequities in our health care system. African-Americans are dying of the virus at startling rates compared to whites. The prevalence of diabetes, heart disease, and other underlying conditions mean Black people are especially vulnerable.
