As a volunteer firefighter in a rural community I am now eligible for the

vaccine ahead of my age group.

My appointment is tomorrow and I have no hesitation about going.

I will continue to wear a mask at the appropriate times and places, even after I receive the 2nd shot. (public places, close proximity). It is not a big deal or inconvenience to do so.

The pain of the deaths caused by this virus extends far beyond those whom have passed; fathers, mothers,sons, daughters, siblings, extented family, co-workers, friends, lost family income, and............................................................

I wish you all safe passage.
