With the holidays quickly approaching, there is some concern about whether families can celebrate together this year. There has been some reassurance on the matter.
According to The Hill, President Biden’s chief medical advisor, Anthony Fauci, has assured families that it is safe to get together to celebrate as long as everyone is fully vaccinated.
The Hill notes that Fauci told ABC’s “This Week” that “…if you’re vaccinated and your family members are vaccinated, those who are eligible — that is obviously very young children are not yet eligible — that you can enjoy the holidays. You can enjoy Halloween, trick-or-treating, and certainly Thanksgiving with your family and Christmas with your family.”
Fauci went on to stress the importance of the vaccine. He explained that it’s “not only for your own safety, for that of your family but also for the good of the community, to keep the level of infections down.”
