Celebrating Mother's Day During Covid-19

It has been over a year since we have lived in a sense of “normalcy.” The Covid-19 or coronavirus pandemic has required us to be apart from our friends and family in order to stay safe. Now that more and more Americans are becoming vaccinated, we can now start heading towards what we may consider normal. We are not out of the woods yet though, so there need to be some common sense precautions. As we re-connect with our friends and family, Mother’s Day is a great place to start. We here at HPFY can help you make Sunday, May 9, 2021 a special day for mom and keep her safe.

Celebrate…But with Care

As time goes on, more and more people are becoming vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus. Also, there is more vaccine supply available to the population, as well as more people being eligible for a vaccination. This leads to us (hopefully) to defeating this viral scourge!! Unfortunately, not all of us have qualified to be vaccinated just yet and some of us may have only had one shot of a two vaccine regimen. Even after one or two vaccinations your immune system needs roughly 2 weeks or so in order to ramp up to protect you properly. It is due to this that we must still be vigilant and be mindful to still wear masks and social distance when possible. Current guidelines are posted on the CDC website.
