 Hi, my name is Cheryl Jones, and I'm a senior emergency services coordinator for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. I live and work here in Los Angeles County, and I was resistant to get the COVID-19 vaccination at first, as most people are. I don't like needles, I don't like doctors, but most foremost, I don't like being sick. A lot of my friends are hesitant to get the vaccination because they don't necessarily believe that it'll make a difference, or they can't catch COVID. They don't necessarily believe in the disease. But as a responsible resident and a responsible citizen, it's important that you get the vaccination to protect your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other people you come into contact with.
