I can still vividly recall the moment each of you entered this world. The instant I held you, my instinct to protect you kicked in fiercely. Throughout my pregnancy, I diligently followed my doctor’s guidance to give you the best possible start. I swapped table salt for healthier options, increased my water intake, and took those enormous prenatal vitamins.
As babies, I ensured that you never missed a check-up and adhered to the vaccination schedule. When you fell ill, I kept a close watch, and if you didn’t improve, we promptly visited the pediatrician. I followed medical advice meticulously, administering all prescribed medications and ensuring you stayed hydrated. Thanks to modern medicine, your childhood ailments were manageable.
As you grew, my commitment to your safety remained strong. I taught you to hold my hand in crowded parking lots, to never accept rides from strangers, and about fire safety. When you became teenagers, I focused on teaching you to drive safely. I remember the anxiety I felt during your early solo drives and the worry when you missed curfew. Every rule I established was aimed at keeping you safe as you transitioned into adulthood.
Now that you are adults, the responsibility for your safety lies with you. I no longer make those choices for you. However, I have a request: I need you to take action to protect ME.
Please consider getting the COVID vaccine. My health is more vulnerable than yours. While I am vaccinated and my immunity is strong, I still worry. What if you were to contract COVID and unknowingly transmit it to me or to someone who is at risk, like a young child or an elderly neighbor? The consequences could be dire.
Just as I ensured you were vaccinated as infants to protect your health, I am now asking you to do the same for me. If you have any hesitations, I encourage you to consult your doctor—talk to several if needed. Seek guidance from trusted healthcare professionals, the same ones you would turn to for a sinus infection or a broken bone.
While modern medicine is not flawless, we wouldn’t want to revert to the days when children succumbed to preventable diseases. We don’t want to return to an era when cancer was a guaranteed death sentence or when survival depended solely on luck.
What we all desire is the opportunity to live long, healthy lives, surrounded by family and friends. Sometimes, that means making sacrifices for the sake of others. In this case, it’s about getting vaccinated.
So, I ask you—please get the vaccine that will help keep me and others safe. I understand if you’re reluctant, but I’m asking you to do this for me.
