COVID-19 Resources

As the coronavirus pandemic lingers, and variants of the virus add to the need to be ever more diligent of our surroundings, the MCDD will continue to provide resources for staying strong through this challenging period. Recent good news is that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has received full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. I hope you will find these resources helpful.
