John,

I’m reaching out with an important update about COVID-19 in North Carolina. Please take a moment to read to the end.

As in states across the country, North Carolina’s rate of COVID-19 cases is steadily increasing, up to its highest peaks in months.

By now, you may have heard of the Delta coronavirus variant. This variant is spreading quickly and is an even deadlier threat to those who are not vaccinated. It doesn’t matter your age or race. If you are not vaccinated, you are at great risk.

But we know how to protect ourselves from the Delta variant, John. The vaccines work. They are safe and highly effective. They are our way out of this pandemic.

We are hearing from doctors about people in the ICU begging for the vaccine right before they are put on a ventilator. By then, it’s too late.

If you are vaccinated, consider speaking to unvaccinated friends and family to let them know why you chose to get a shot.

If you have concerns about getting a vaccine, talk to your doctor. They will explain the benefits of getting vaccinated.

It will protect you and prevent future variants, like Delta, that could emerge to threaten our health and economic recovery.

Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for kids under 12 who can’t get one yet. Do it today.

Take a moment to make an appointment to get a vaccine if you haven’t already done so >>>

Thank you,

Roy
