Letter to the editor: Get vaccinated to help end COVID-19 pandemic

Smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and shingles are just some of the diseases prevented by immunizations. Our daily lives would be much different without these shots. Take polio, for example. If there had been as much resistance and misinformation about the polio vaccine as the COVID-19 vaccines, polio would still be disabling and killing countless Americans today.

So let us do what Americans have always done best, especially in a crisis. Let us work together to end this pandemic. Please, I beg of you: Get your COVID vaccines and boosters.
