Barack Obama: ‘The Sooner We Get More People Vaccinated, the Better off We’re Going To Be’

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “I appreciate you guys doing this. You know, part of our goal here is to make sure that everybody who’s been going through so much in Covid understands the need and the urgency of our communities getting vaccinated. Michelle and I, we’ve been lucky. Michelle’s mom, she just stayed put in Chicago, didn’t leave her apartment. You know, the girls, as frustrating as it was, they really followed protocol, in terms of making sure that they took this seriously. Now, as the vaccine becomes more available, I want to make sure that our communities, particularly ones, African-American, Latino, as well as young people understand that this will save lives and allow people to get their lives back to normal, and the sooner we get more people vaccinated, the better off we're going to be."
