Adventists & Vaccinations
|
|
From Dr. Richard Hart, Loma Linda University Health
We've Been Here Before
The degree of polarization around the COVID-19 vaccine today is not surprising. One perspective comes from those who are champions of individual rights, bolstered by what they read and hear about the dangers of the vaccine. On the other side are those who accept the reported science and believe vaccinations are the only solution to the pandemic.
Those of us who have had the privilege of watching human nature for many years remember similar battles around compulsory use of seat belts, motorcycle helmets, fluoridation of water supplies, and various other public health mandates.

A Shared Value of Thriving
7 Advantages of Adventist Education offers a safe environment for children to grow and thrive.
• Christian teachers who respect and value their students which builds self-esteem.
• Students grow up together, moving together from grade to grade, providing them with the feeling of belonging and acceptance.
• Small class sizes enable teachers to get to know their students well and build on their strengths and improve weaknesses.
• Students develop inclusive values of the Gospel.
Safety is one of those important little things that differentiates the 20 schools associated with 7 Advantages from other educational institutions.
To find out more for your child or grandchild, friend or neighbor, locate the school nearest you and start a conversation about how you can help nurture the value of humility.

We have a high level of vaccination in the State of Washington, and we are still in a pandemic where good health and safety habits are still important.
- Whatever your vaccination status and over the age of 5, please wear a mask at church.
- If you are gathered for a small group and everyone in attendance is vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask (especially if outdoors).
- If you visit a school campus or community service center, please wear a mask and cooperate with the local health screening process.
As always, kindness and grace to each other in our interactions goes a long way.
