Karen Freedman has no concerns about taking a coronavirus vaccine, in fact, she says she is looking forward to it.
Her father died of COVID-19 in April after contracting the disease in a nursing home, and although she complies with social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines in her hometown in South Carolina, Freedman worries about contracting the virus. The 54-year-old social worker says a vaccine would enable her to finally resume activities halted by lockdowns, like going to the local swimming pool.
“I think it’s vital and essential,” Freedman says. “I am so for taking the vaccine, to me, it’s common sense, it’s obvious.”
