Regarding my piece and inspiration- I’m a big advocate for vaccines. The importance of vaccines was once described to me as a circle of protection. When herd immunity is achieved, we can better protect those who cannot be vaccinated and the immune-compromised. That’s why it’s so important to get vaccinated if you can, not only for yourself, but for your community, your team. I hope my piece can aid in vaccine education and awareness to help keep our communities healthy.
