I also got it because I surround myself with family a lot and there’s a lot of younger people and elders in my family and I didn’t want to put them in any danger. After I got it I was fine

The reason I got it was to keep my family safe and make them less nervous about the vaccine if they saw that I got it, basically setting an example. I had most of the symptoms that these articles said I would have which only lasted a day. I would rather have all of these symptoms from the vaccine for just one day than go through that pain for 2 weeks and possibly putting friends and family in danger"- Joana (11th Grade)]]> 2021-05-26 23:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/litmagbeca/BECAvaccineresources/wish/1563226480 jperezsantiago1 https://padlet.com/litmagbeca/BECAvaccineresources/wish/1563247825 "I decided to get the vaccine because it was important to not only keep myself safe but everyone else in my family safe. I had done research on the vaccine and asked Ms Blau about it because she taught us about COVID-19 before school went out of session. My experience taking the vaccine was honestly smooth sailing. I went to the local Walgreens and scheduled my appointments. I did not have any acute side effects, I only experienced headaches and increased bowel movements for one day.

Although we know more now than we did last year about Covid 19, there is still much to learn.  One thing that is certain is that no one is invincible, and it can attack anyone regardless the age.  
     I feel thankful and grateful to live in a country with some of the best experts in the field.  I trust the Science and I trust our medical experts.  I got the vaccine to protect my family, my friends, my coworkers, myself, and others.  Since the vaccine became available, we have seen the infection rates decrease.  The only way to prevent the spread of the virus is with the vaccine."
     "La pandemia de Covid 19 no se parece a nada que haya experimentado. Ver cuántas vidas se perdieron y cómo afectó a tanta gente en todo el mundo fue devastador. Aunque sabemos más ahora que el año pasado sobre Covid 19, todavía hay mucho que aprender. Una cosa que es cierta es que nadie es invencible.  El virus  puede atacar a cualquiera sin importar la edad.
     Me siento agradecida de vivir en un país con algunos de los mejores expertos. Confío en la ciencia y confío en nuestros expertos médicos. Recibí la vacuna para proteger a mi familia, a mis amigos, a mis compañeros de trabajo, a mí misma y a los demás. Desde que la vacuna estuvo disponible, hemos visto disminuir las tasas de infección. La única forma de prevenir la propagación del virus es con la vacuna." - Ms. Briceno-Paul

She turned 93 years old this year, and although she's relatively healthy, I didn't want to risk anything by potentially exposing her to COVID. My grandma is my best friend and biggest supporter, so it was really hard for me to have to stand 6+ feet apart from her the few times I was able to visit during the worst of the pandemic.
