Mary McConnaughey at a JBS vaccination outreach event.
“One of my friends recently called me and said, ‘If Mama Bear [that’s my nickname] says it’s time to get the vaccine, it’s time to get the vaccine,’” said Mary. “That night, we vaccinated his entire family. It was a huge honor that he trusted OneWorld staff enough to finally pull the trigger for him and his entire family.” With the recent increase in cases, Mary said getting your vaccine now is critical. “The Delta variant has been called the pandemic of the unvaccinated, and we know that social distancing and masks help, and vaccines are probably our best armor,” said Mary. All OneWorld clinics offer Covid-19 vaccines, and both patients and non-patients can receive their vaccines at the Livestock Exchange campus. Home visits are available for anyone eligible for the vaccine. OneWorld will be administering the third dose (also called the booster) based on CDC guidelines. Together we can make a difference. “The Delta variant has been called the pandemic of the unvaccinated, and we know that social distancing and masks help, and vaccines are probably our best armor.” –Mary McConnaughey, EMT and Covid-19 Immunization Specialist
