| Our people share their vaccine stories |
| What’s your why? |
For avid live music fan Danielle Hessong, Infection Prevention Program Manager, Porter Adventist Hospital, getting the vaccine not only allows her to attend concerts again but also enables her to host her wedding without fear of spreading the virus to her loved ones.
“Because of my role, I’m often asked whether or not someone should get the COVID-19 vaccine,” Danielle explained. “I want people to know that it’s smart to question. I encourage people who are hesitant to get the vaccine to dig in, do some research, and ask experts they know for advice. Investigating the vaccines as much as possible and understanding the science behind them will help people make an educated decision.”
