00:08.840 --> 00:10.896
My name is Lieutenant Colonel Cherie

00:10.896 --> 00:14.560
Hampton Came in to get my COVID-19

00:14.560 --> 00:17.760
booster shot folks here at the 61st

00:17.760 --> 00:19.871
made group are amazing . The line was

00:19.871 --> 00:22.093
seamless and the airmen here are really

00:22.093 --> 00:24.316
great . So it didn't take long at all .

00:24.316 --> 00:26.316
I'm a single mother and I'm a , you

00:26.316 --> 00:28.427
know , serving member and the reserve

00:28.427 --> 00:30.550
force as well as um a contractor here

00:30.550 --> 00:32.550
on base . So I have many roles . So

00:32.550 --> 00:34.550
being vaccinated is important to me

00:34.550 --> 00:36.717
because I have a child that I'm taking

00:36.717 --> 00:38.939
care of . I go down , we both go down .

00:38.939 --> 00:41.161
So it's very important to me to just be

00:41.161 --> 00:42.994
vaccinated . Thank you . Getting

00:42.994 --> 00:44.772
inoculated . It's important for

00:44.772 --> 00:46.939
multiple reasons . I mean , it reduces

00:46.939 --> 00:48.772
the chance of getting covid , it

00:48.772 --> 00:50.939
reduces the chance of having long haul

00:50.939 --> 00:52.883
symptoms . If you do get covid the

00:52.883 --> 00:54.828
chances of death or the chances of

00:54.828 --> 00:57.050
hospitalization are greatly reduced . I

00:57.050 --> 00:59.106
understand that the vaccine does not

00:59.106 --> 01:01.328
prevent me from catching covid , but it

01:01.328 --> 01:03.550
does prevent me from possibly dying and

01:03.550 --> 01:05.717
lower my chances of being in ICU . And

01:05.717 --> 01:07.883
that's what's important . Honestly , I

01:07.883 --> 01:09.994
didn't have any side effects . I woke

01:09.994 --> 01:12.161
up the next day um , from my first two

01:12.161 --> 01:14.383
shots . So I went for a five mile run ,

01:14.383 --> 01:16.550
continued to stay active , continue to

01:16.550 --> 01:18.383
go to yoga and I haven't had any

01:18.383 --> 01:20.439
complications . Hopefully this video

01:20.439 --> 01:22.717
will help people who look more like me ,

01:22.717 --> 01:24.883
right minorities and women um , taking

01:24.883 --> 01:26.994
more serious and lean forward . We're

01:26.994 --> 01:28.960
getting vaccinated . All right
