Then and Now

Looking through my old blogs, I saw this published February 7, 2015 titled Flu Season Is No Joke. As you read it, I think you will understand my reason for re-publishing. FYI: It was published during the time of my radio broadcast Victoriously Today mentioned in it.


Flu Season Is No Joke

In 2014, I was "too busy" to get my flu vaccine, and I paid dearly for it! That lesson was not in vain. Come 2021, my family and I were fully vaccinated early and now three have the booster. Now far be it for me to tell others what to do but...if you or someone you know desire now to get a Covid vaccine and live in or near Craven and Jones Counties, this Saturday will be a great time to get it and affirm See below
