Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Vaccine

Answer:

My two biggest reasons why people might change their mind about getting the COVID-19 vaccine are:

1. Everyone has a choice
2. Protect yourself and your family
This is a great opportunity and a choice we all should make individually or in contact with your family and your friends.
