Black History Month
“February is Black History Month. This month-long observance in the US and Canada is a chance to celebrate Black achievement and provide a fresh reminder to take stock of where systemic racism persists and give visibility to the people and organizations creating change.” – World Economic Forum Each year, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) picks a theme to focus on, bring the public’s attention to the experience, achievements, and social movements. The theme for 2022 is Black Health and Wellness!

Please see the CDC’s booster dose chart for detailed instructions on when to get a booster dose. Booster doses are available at the walk-in UWM Vaccination Clinic, or by visiting vaccines.gov and searching for a vaccine site near you. Zilber has received their distribution of N95 masks!
