Kayla Foy is hoping her story will encourage more people to do the same.
Foy helps with data collection for the consortium, which tests at-risk communities for COVID-19 for free.
Foy tells Action News she hopes to inspire people her age and in the Black community to get vaccinated.
"I think people my age are also listening to their parents, their parents might be unsure about taking the vaccine. So they're like, 'If my parents aren't sure than I'm not sure.' But I just want people to know that it's ok, I'm ok, I'm doing great so far," she said.
