Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (R-IA) released the following statement encouraging Iowans to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Hinson received both doses of her vaccine and is continuing to urge all Iowans to get fully vaccinated as the Delta variant spreads.
“As a result of President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, three safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines were developed and distributed in record time. The vaccine protects you, it protects your loved ones, and once you get it, you can and should live your life normally. With the emergence of the Delta variant, I strongly encourage everyone to talk to their doctors and get fully vaccinated so that we can put this pandemic behind us for good.” –Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
