The St. Charles Business Alliance is proud to announce the return of St. Charles

menus and specials. For a full list of participating restaurants and their specials,

Week will be operating under the current phase 4 guidelines.
The Alliance is also hosting a gift card giveaway, where people have a chance to
receive a gift card back to a St Charles Restaurant. Individuals can be entered
to win gift cards to St. Charles restaurants by submitting a copy of a receipt
from a participating restaurant throughout Restaurant Week to the St. Charles
Business Alliance. See Facebook for more details and how to enter- https://

St. Charles Business Alliance Executive Director Jenna Sawicki said “It is more
important than ever to support our restaurants, this is so much more than just
about trying and experiencing all the amazing restaurants we have in our com-
munity, but also supporting them to make sure they exists in the future.”

St. Charles St. Patrick’s
Celebration Trims Down Due
events
to COVID
The annual St. Patrick’s Celebration will look very different this year compared
to previous years. It will have a decreased footprint due to health and safety
restrictions from Executive Orders from the State guideline.
The St. Charles St. Patrick’s Celebration, which will be held on Saturday, March
13, will not include the St. Patrick’s Parade. In place of the parade, the St.
Charles Business Alliance will be hosting events around town, including a festive
Photo Op Area and Roaming Bagpipers. St. Charles businesses will also offer St.
Patrick’s promotions to be featured on the St. Patrick’s Celebration website.
Other events during the St. Patrick’s Celebration will be a Treasure Hunt, where
families can find Leprechauns in downtown St. Charles Businesses and be
entered to win a “Pot of Gold” containing a selection of prizes from around St.
Charles.
Although the event will look different, the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day will be there
for all to enjoy, according to St. Charles Business Alliance executive director
Jenna Sawicki.
“We want to make sure to set the expectation that this year is going to look
significantly different than previous St. Patrick’s Celebrations in St. Charles,”
Sawicki said. “While there will be major changes in place, we have been working
hard to keep the spirit of this community event alive, so that we can keep the joy
and benefits it brings to our businesses and community.”

VACC INATI ON
AT NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE’S
DELNOR HOSPITAL
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for
the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020.
Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital started administering the vaccine to healthcare
workers on December 16. Although many are excited about the vaccine, health officials know
that many others have questions and concerns about it.
“There is a lot of angst surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine,” says Jay Liu, MD, PhD, infectious
diseases at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital. “Some of it is based on legitimate
questions that are not answerable given our current level of data and study, and others are
based on deliberate misinformation and non-fact based anxiety.”
Since there are not currently any effective therapies to “cure” COVID-19 without excess
morbidity or even mortality, Dr. Liu says the best bet is to prevent people from acquiring it in
the first place, which is why the vaccine is so important.
“We have a moral obligation to our fellow mankind
to protect the community by not contributing to
the continued spread of COVID-19, which is so
much worse than a ‘glorified flu’”, Dr. Liu says.
Michael G. Ison, MD, infectious diseases and
organ transplantation specialist at Northwestern
Medicine, has spent the majority of his career
focused on infectious diseases and respiratory
viruses.
“I got an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it
was offered to me,” Dr. Ison said. “I chose to get
the vaccine because the research suggests it will
protect me.”
Here, Dr. Ison answers the most commonly asked

COVID-19 vaccine. The mRNA vaccines
do not contain the virus that causes
COVID-19, so there is no way for you to
get infected through vaccination.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are similar to what you
might experience with other vaccines.
The most common side effects are
mild, and include fatigue, headache,
fever and chills. These side effects may
occur as a result of your body’s work
to create immunity to the virus and are
a sign that the vaccine is working. Such
side effects should go away within a few days.
Please note that some people will not have any side effects, and some people may experience
significant side effects. It is advised to consult your provider if:
• You are experiencing any side effects for more than a few days.
• You notice that the area where you received the vaccine increases in redness or
tenderness over 24 hours.
• You become worried by your side effects.
The CDC recommends that patients report any side effects via V-safe, a smartphone-based tool.
Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine if I’ve had the flu vaccine this year?
Yes, but the CDC recommends that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine be given
at least two weeks before or after any other vaccine. Consult your primary care physician before
getting vaccinated, and review the CDC’s comprehensive recommendations for both the flu
vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine.
If I have had COVID-19 and/or tested positive for antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19,
do I need the vaccine?
According to the CDC, more research is needed to determine how long patients who have
recovered from COVID-19 will be protected by natural immunity. Therefore, even if you’ve had
COVID-19 or positive detection of antibodies, data shows the vaccine will likely benefit you: It
could boost your natural immunity or build immunity if your natural immunity has decreased
over time. In most cases, a 90-day period after recovery or testing positive for antibodies will be
advisable.
How long should I wait to get vaccinated if I believe I am exposed to COVID-19? Should I get
tested for COVID-19 first?
It is advised that you wait at least until you are no longer required to isolate or quarantine
before getting the COVID-19 vaccine. At this time, it is not recommended to get tested for
COVID-19 before getting vaccinated.
