To safely return to in-person meetings when able, we encourage those who are able to talk with their doctor about COVID-19 vaccination. We encourage viewing a 10 minute video from SMART Facilitator Nicholas Nelson describing how the mRNA vaccines work and the importance of vaccination for the safety of our communities.
