Why I got vaccinated: Dylan Sowa

“I got vaccinated because I want to help get this whole thing over and get back to normal. I’m looking forward to traveling, hanging out with friends, and not having to wear a mask when I play hockey.”

Dylan Sowa, age 14, is an eighth grader at Montessori Borealis. He got the first dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine at SEARHC on Thursday, May 13. He encourages all his friends and peers to get one, too: “Just go get it; it will only help.”
