or some, getting a COVID-19 vaccine is simply pragmatic.
âMy thought was, if it could in some way speed up putting a period on this mess, Iâm in,â El Paso County Treasurer Mark Lowderman says, noting heâs fully vaccinated.
Others cite personal reasons, like El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman. Noting his wife and one of his four daughters are nurses, he says via email: âThey have been in the trenches fighting against this devastating virus. I fully understand the impact this virus has had on our community.â
Broerman got his second shot in March. âI know the hope these vaccines bring to our community and the importance the vaccine brings in keeping them and my loved ones safe,â he says.
