“Getting vaccinated, for me, was a no-brainer. A choice I felt lucky & excited to make. Of course, I did my research, talked with my family & checked in with my doctors & discussed it, but I always knew I wanted it (& wanted it badly). Getting vaccinated is, of course, a personal choice & should definitely be discussed with your medical team if you have chronic illness(es), but I wanted to share my reason for getting vaccinated. I got vaccinated for peace of mind. For safe trips home. For laughter & hugs in person. I got vaccinated for myself. For my family. For my immunocompromised friends. For this community.”
