As we continue down our online meetings, its tough to get to know people. While we are all fully immersed in our work activities, I am fully aware that our Federal partners from CDC and HHS as well as our state partners sometimes don’t really smile that much…or even have their cameras turned on during our coordination calls.

Well, I decided to change that today…with a little holiday spirit.

Cracking a few holiday Dad Jokes usually brings a smile to a few faces.

Glad to be in the middle of this vaccine distribution with our partners as their collaborative work on critical messaging, response actions, and on social media have been spot on.

Working the holiday magic as we continue to share the message of

Wash your hands

Wear a mask

Keep 6ft apart

Avoid large holiday gatherings

And of course, keep it small this year…so we can have a big celebration next year.
