I got the vaccine because I believe in science. I feel that I am blessed that I am able to get the vaccine when so many people have yet to receive it. I also talked to my cousin who is an internist when the vaccine came out and she urged me to get it whenever it was available. I really love going to Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche games so I am really hoping I can do that again soon. Also, my grandmother who is 94 and has dementia is getting sicker. I really want to go back to South Carolina to see her before it’s too late because the disease is progressing rapidly.

I ‘d ask that if you are able to get to get the vaccine, please do. The science is behind it and the sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner we can get back to some sort of normalcy.
