The Muppets Are Here To Encourage You To Get Vaccinated
Dr. Pamela Hymel Chief Medical officer for Disney took to social media today to share a very special message from our Muppet friends!
With Disney theme parks starting to relax restrictions and the CDC announcing last week that vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks, continuing to evaluate the health and safety precautions at Disney is pivotal.
You may see many changes happening at Disney over the days and weeks ahead. Just this weekend Disney reduced social distancing requirements from 6 feet to 3 feet. Also, Disney World visitors no longer need to wear masks outside!
However, as we move toward this new stage of recovery, now it is more important than ever for people to get vaccinated. With that in mind Gonzo and Pepe have a special message for you!
The message from the Muppets was actually created in collaboration with the Ad Council as well as the COVID Collaborative. It will be airing on ABC and affiliates in the weeks to come. It is part of Disney’s broader effort to spread the word to guests, cast members and the public regarding the importance of the COVID vaccine.
Dr Hymel is a huge advocate for the vaccines saying, “The consensus in the medical community is that vaccines can help protect you against COVID-19. And when you get vaccinated, you are part of a growing group immunity that helps to keep both you and others safe, especially those who are immunocompromised and can’t be vaccinated.”
Those that have questions about getting vaccinated are encouraged to visit GetVaccineAnswers.org.
Over the past few weeks we here at MickeyBlog have reported on various ways that Disney is working to keep cast members and guests safe. This includes onsite vaccine clinics in California, Florida and France.
As a matter of fact, Disneyland Resort became one of Southern California’s largest vaccine distribution sites. More than 200,000 doses of the vaccine were administered at this location.
Disney is also providing space at the convention center at Disney’s Newport Bay Club Hotel at Disneyland Paris. To date more than 32,000 doses have been administrated since April 24th.
Readers are encouraged to keep following along with us for more information on measures Disney is taking to keep guests safe at the theme parks and beyond!
