"Getting the vaccine is part of doing what is necessary to prevent the further spread of Covid-19. I am grateful to be able to receive this vaccine and I am hopeful that this will move us closer to ending the pandemic. I appreciate how accommodating and helpful the staff at Planned Parenthood was. I am thankful that Planned Parenthood is proving folks with the vaccine and that they provide so many other invaluable services to the community.

"Getting the Covid-19 vaccine means something different to many people, but the one thing we all have in common is that we want to protect others. I have lost family due to Covid complications, so I know and can relate to others who have lost loved ones." – PPPSGV Vaccination Patient
