GreaterGood and our supporters have spent an entire year supporting frontline workers<\/a> by donating and distributing masks and other types of aid to where they\u2019ve been needed most during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have made mask donations in almost every state and in other countries as well, such as Mexico and Armenia. Masks have also been delivered to Native American health services organizations, border areas between Texas and Mexico, and a health clinic for refugees waiting to enter the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve delivered more than 3 million masks<\/a> to medical professionals, elder care workers<\/a>, staff and volunteers at animal shelters<\/a> and wildlife sanctuaries<\/a>, food service workers<\/a> who aid vulnerable populations, and other heroes<\/a> who kept working during this difficult time.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll continue donating PPE and offering aid wherever it\u2019s needed most during the pandemic, but we\u2019re looking forward to the day when that won\u2019t be necessary anymore. And that day might be coming up fairly soon, thanks to the hard work of vaccine developers and the efforts citizens have been making to socially distance themselves to protect one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that COVID-19 vaccinations are rolling out in the U.S., we\u2019re so excited to be seeing the end of the pandemic tunnel! Already many frontline workers, elderly people, and members of vulnerable populations have been vaccinated, thanks to the two-dose Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that have been available for the past couple of months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson & Johnson<\/a> has also released a COVID-19 vaccine which has just begun to be used in the United States. This vaccine is slightly less effective than its two predecessors, but it has the added benefit of requiring only a single dose, meaning it can be rolled out more quickly to reach more people.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

About 4 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are available as of the first week of March, but 20 million<\/a> are expected to be administered by the end of March as the company ramps up its production. Between this great news and the ever-increasing numbers of people being inoculated with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, we expect that the end of the pandemic will be here before we know it.<\/span><\/p>\n
