We all want to get back to normal as quickly as possible. The timing of that depends on how quickly people are vaccinated against COVID-19, how far those vaccinations stay ahead of the variants, and how much the proper precautions continue to be taken. Mike Brey did his part in allowing normal life to return by getting a vaccination Wednesday. He even tweeted out a photo of himself in the act while, appropriately, wearing a Notre Dame T-shirt:

The timing of Brey’s vaccination is particularly interesting for the Notre Dame community. This comes just ahead of the mass vaccination event that will take place at Compton Family Ice Arena for northern Indiana residents Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately for Notre Dame students who want the vaccine, the event will not include them as vaccine eligibility won’t expand to Indiana residents ages 16 and up until March 31. Still, the university will open one of its facilities to allow the more vulnerable residents of the state to get vaccinated, and that will be a big help in ending this pandemic.
