REMEMBER: If you got the #Pfizer or #Moderna COVID

REMEMBER: If you got the #Pfizer or #Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, it takes TWO doses to be fully vaccinated. Get your second dose as close to the recommended interval (3 weeks Pfizer and 4 weeks Moderna) as possible.

We encourage everyone to get the vaccine when it's your turn. Vaccines are safe, effective, prevent illness and save lives, and they add one more layer of protection against COVID-19.

If you have questions or concerns, we're here to help! Please call us 718-583-5150.

In honor of #EarthDay today, here's a recent throw

In honor of #EarthDay today, here's a recent throwback to October when our community members planted flowers in front of VIP's health center at 770 E. 176th Street in the Bronx. Pretty, right? 🌹🌻🌻

Here are 10 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Protect the Earth:

♻️ 1. #Reduce, #reuse, and #recycle.
♻️ 2. #Volunteer for cleanups in your community.
♻️ 3. #Educate (When you further your own education, you can help others understand the importance and value of our natural resources)
♻️ 4. #Conserve water.
♻️ 5. Choose sustainable.
♻️ 6. #ShopWisely (bring a reusable shopping bag)
♻️ 7. Use long-lasting light bulbs.
♻️ 8. #Plant a #tree.
♻️ 9. Don't send chemicals into our waterways.
♻️ 10. #Bike more. Drive less.

VIP's CALL TO ACTION in the Wake of George Floyd’s Murder:

Senseless murders of individuals like George Floyd and so many others remind us of the arduous work ahead. However, yesterday’s verdict brought accountability, a sense of relief, and a signal that change is coming. We recall the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness,” to guide us through this change as we work to eliminate discrimination and hate.

That work requires further reflection and action in our national struggle to address inequities; examination of our own implicit biases; and the courage to take a stand. We must engage in difficult conversations about structural racism and all types of discrimination. We must do so publicly, constructively and without apology. The actions we take today to eliminate systemic racism, oppression and discrimination will determine the future we build for tomorrow’s generation.

We are called to speak out, get in what the late Congressman John Lewis called “good trouble,” and seek justice where there is wrong. Together we go forward remembering the challenge posed by Dr. King: “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”

--Debbian Fletcher-Blake, CEO, VIP
