Do you qualify for a third COVID vaccine dose? A third dose of COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for people who may not have had a strong enough immune response after receiving the first two doses.

"When I saw her, I knew she was young and my intuition told me to help her," said Barron. "We've been looking for her since March," said the father. "I'm grateful these nurses showed concern and went to see about her, or she would probably still be missing. They are angels." |  Caregiver and Veteran share story of support Bree Shields is a caregiver who has spent the last several years supporting and empowering her husband Sean. Sean is an Army Veteran who deployed to Afghanistan in 2013. He sustained a knee and back injury, memory and hearing loss, and PTSD. After returning home, he couldn't shake the feeling that "something was off." They hope their story encourages other caregivers and Veterans to get the help they need. | |
