I think it’s very important to get the vaccine. For the main reason being that, in order to really combat this pandemic in full force, we need the majority of the people, over 80%, to have been vaccinated. And it confers what it’s called herd immunity, and what that means basically is that there are enough people vaccinated that the virus is no longer endemic across the system. And that people have less ability to both spread it and contract it.
