A vaccine for COVID-19 is only one of the ways to stop the spread of the disease. Because the supply of vaccine is currently limited, doing other things to help stop the spread will be just as important as it is now. This means still wearing a face mask, staying at least 6-feet away from others, washing your hands often, and staying home if you are sick.
