Q Why did you decide to get the COVID-19 vaccination? LANDO ALLEN I got the vaccine to protect myself and others. RAELENE JOHNSON I got it because I have COPD. With my lung issues, I’m even more susceptible towards getting it, so when it was time for my age group to get it, I wanted to do it for my health, and to protect others around me. JERRY ROSEN The reason I got the vaccine is so that it would protect me from getting COVID because I felt it I was doing the right thing. PENNY SANDOVAL I decided to get vaccinated because medical professionals said I should. LARMARQUES SMITH Because I am immuno-compromised, it was important for me to get the vaccine to stay healthy, but also, I had misgivings about taking the vaccine. I wanted to see how others who got the vaccine reacted before I took it just because, typically, there has been mistrust with drugs like that, but if you think about it, the whole world is being vaccinated against this. That’s how polio was eradicated, so I had to take it…. I had to take it.
