1 
00:00:04,940 --> 00:00:07,540
I do have an older mother, 77

2 
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:09,651
years at the time I got it and I

3 
00:00:09,651 --> 00:00:11,707
decided  if I wanted to be

4 
00:00:11,707 --> 00:00:13,929
able to visit her or take care of her ,

5 
00:00:13,929 --> 00:00:16,096
I want to be vaccinated.

6 
00:00:16,096 --> 00:00:18,318
As a corpsman, we are at the forefrront of every platform that

7 
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:20,540
involves medicine in the Navy and OCOUNS

8 
00:00:20,540 --> 00:00:22,762
so we help people that are in developing countries, that need us

9 
00:00:22,762 --> 00:00:24,929
helping and need this aid.

10 
00:00:24,929 --> 00:00:27,040
If we are not protected ourselves,

11 
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:27,963
 then we're doing them an injustice.

12 
00:00:28,592 --> 00:00:29,220
I read the original studies from the trials over in India,

13 
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,970
and I found it was very effective against the original variant.

14 
00:00:34,247 --> 00:00:39,589
The Delta variant.  It's also very effective against than one as well.

15 
00:00:40,846 --> 00:00:43,000
Patient care comes first . Absolutely .

16 
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,040
and always . And I believe that getting

17 
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,230
this vaccine protects my immediate

18 
00:00:47,230 --> 00:00:49,341
patients.

19 
00:00:49,341 --> 00:00:51,452
It was the right thing to decide,

20 
00:00:53,414 --> 00:00:55,299
and stop the spread of COVID.

21 
00:00:53,619 --> 00:00:53,360
spread of covid .
