Why I got a vaccination contest.  

 
A man I met recently who had received his second shot asked me: “What is the most common side effect of getting vaccinated?”  I didn’t know.  He replied, “People who are vaccinated cannot stop talking about it.”  For those of you who are thrilled, as I am, to now be vaccinated please join in our March contest.  We hope to get at least 20 replies. Write why you got vaccinated. 
 
Here’s my story: “ I know that vaccinations work and I don’t want to risk the possibility of severe illness and death and possibility of long term effects of Covid 19.  I got vaccinated to prevent all of those for myself, my family, my co-workers and patients and for the community, nation and world.”  Deborah Parker  
 
What’s your vaccination story? For the month of March we are running a contest letting everyone know why our staff is getting vaccinated.  Please write your story and share by sending to deborah.parker@brightstarcare.com and put in subject line “Why I got vaccinated”.
   
In our last issue of the Friday Covid Update for the month of March we will give out four $10 gift cards to 4 staff who share their best stories. We will also publish the stories in the April Newsletter.  
 
Stay safe and get vaccinated!
