Augusta-area leaders explain why they re getting the COVID-19 vaccine
Augusta Chronicle

An early skeptic, Commissioner John Clarke said about 40% of people he encounters in the community still warn him against getting the vaccine, while he got a first dose Monday to make a statement.
“The so-called powers that be and the leaders of communities can’t direct or ask people to do something that they themselves would not do,” he said. “To show unity with the community I went ahead and decided to take the vaccine,” Clarke said.
