Count Me In As Vaccinated

  • Thursday, September 9, 2021

I have been vaccinated since January 2021.  There was a story in the newspaper recently that highlighted County Commissioners and their stance on COVID-19 and the vaccine.

 

Due to personal circumstances my priority last week was to my family so I was unable to provide a comment to the paper. 

 

I support and encourage others to do what they can to protect themselves and everyone around them.

 

Commissioner Randy Fairbanks

District 1
