LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Be grateful you were vaccinated

I hope that grandparents, their children, their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren never have to deal with smallpox, diphtheria, meningitis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, pneumonia, polio, pneumococcal disease, rotavirus, rubella or tetanus, because these diseases can all lead to death. But if they haven’t experienced any of these, it’s probably because they got vaccinated.

Yes, all these diseases are preventable by vaccination. So I beg those who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 to look at their families and see what a blessing it is to have a vaccine to help prevent a loved one’s death.

I want to thank my parents for protecting me from these diseases. Will someone in your family thank you?
