In December 2020, after almost a year of quarantining, my family and I were diagnosed with Covid-19. As an essential restaurant worker, I took all the necessary & recommended precautions. I wore my mask everyday, washed my hands and wore gloves handling food, especially around restaurant employees and customers. When heading home to my family, I used hand sanitizer in the car and wiped down everything around that I touched. I started a regular exercise routine and tried to keep a healthy diet to boost my immune system. Still, I contracted COVID-19 and I still have no idea how my family and I got it.
This is why it was important for me to get vaccinated when the opportunity became available to me as a restaurant worker. I knew it was the safest option to stay healthy for my community, my family and especially myself. We also understand that it’s completely normal to still feel unsure about getting the vaccine. This is why we decided to parter with the HHS COVID-19 Public Education Campaign - Juntos Sí Podemos!
