 I chose to get the COVID vaccine because it gave me more time to, more opportunities to spend time with my family and actually go to yoga, go to the gym and not have to put a mask on and even last week I just went to the movies for the first time in over a year and just could enjoy that with my friends without having to worry about a mask. I chose to get the COVID vaccine because my wife is susceptible as a diabetic. Also, I use public transportation on buses and trains so I wanted to make sure my family is safe since I'm the one who left the house most often. One of the benefits to getting the vaccine is that I can run without a mask on. I take my health seriously, so should you. Because of COVID, I couldn't spend time with my family, especially my obstetrician. She's older, so we had to be cautious and I got vaccinated and now I get to spend time with my family. The things I can do now that I couldn't do before, I'm able to go out and socialize with my friends. I'm able to go to an Airbnb and hop on a plane and not worry about things since I've been immunized. What are you doing in this fight against COVID? It's not just me, it's not just you, it's not just the Coast Guard, it's not just the United States. We're all in this together.
