As a health care worker, I was one of the early recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine. As I received the vaccine and the surrounding staff applauded, I felt tears streaming down my face. The nurse who painlessly administered the vaccine said: “Go ahead and cry. You are making history.”
My tears represented a mix of emotions: joy, relief and a sense that we will soon be able to exhale as a society. I also felt ashamed because many others at greater risk have not yet received the vaccination, including members of the Latinx community who have been on the front lines during the pandemic.
