These App State student scholarship winners shared their motivations for being vaccinated, which include protecting loved ones and stopping the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Transcript

Student 1: I got vaccinated because I wanted to protect everyone around me and help us get to the end of the pandemic.

Student 2: The reason I got vaccinated was to protect my family and go back to normal.

Student 3: As a public health major I think it’s really important for everybody to take initiative and get vaccinated. It’s a step that everybody has to take to slowly stop the spread of covid so we can get back to not wearing masks in public.
