               GETTING VACCINATED TO PROTECT OUR FAMILIES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Nevada (Mrs. Lee) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Speaker, I rise today as COVID cases surge 
in my home State of Nevada and across this country.
  In fact, in the past 3 days, Nevada has added over 2,000 new cases, 
and our 2-week positivity rate has rapidly grown to more than 12 
percent. Hospitalizations are up, too, with the vast majority being 
among, you guessed it, the unvaccinated.
  Unfortunately, just over half of Nevadans are fully or partially 
vaccinated. We must all do our part to end this pandemic. The best 
thing you can do to protect yourself, your family, the ones you care 
about most is to get vaccinated.
  Getting your vaccine is safe and, now, easier than ever. Believe it 
or not, back home in Nevada, it comes with the chance to win more than 
$5 million in prizes. That is how desperate we are to make sure that 
everyone is motivated to go get a vaccine.
  Please, go to vaccines.gov to find a clinic. For those who are 
already vaccinated, please take the time this week to reach out and 
encourage your peers to do their part, too.
  Together, we can stop the spread and get our lives back to normal.
