Don’t be afraid of the vaccine. Be afraid of COVID-19.
That’s the message Gladys Vega gave as she stood beside Gov. Charlie Baker at the nonprofit La Colaborativa in Chelsea.
“I urge you to please make the right choice, and if you’re not able to make that choice for you, make it for that family member, for the grandmother who wants to give you a hug,” said Vega, executive director of La Collaborative. “Make sure that you do it for the sake of others.”
