“I participated in the original polio vaccine trials in grade school and watched polio disappear. I believe in the power of vaccines to eliminate diseases. This is important for both individuals and the community at-large. With COVID, if most of our community gets vaccinated and we achieve herd immunity, the virus has no place to go. We can stop COVID-19.”
- Dr. William Valenti, Senior Vice President for Strategic Advancement, Chief of Innovation, Co-Founder, and Staff Physician, Trillium Health
“It was important for me to come in and get the COVID vaccine today for my family, my friends and my co-workers... and their family and friends.”
- Tiera Proctor, Pharmacist, Trillium Health
“I got vaccinated for the safety of my patients and the community at-large, and to help end the pandemic.”
- Emily Duke, PA-C, Trillium Health
“As a woman of color, as a Black woman, as a Latina, I thought it was imperative (to get vaccinated) because my community and my family look to me for guidance... especially given our history with vaccines and healthcare in general. So, I wanted to come be the first to take the step towards everyone getting vaccinated so we can end the pandemic.”
