Bill Watanabe has two very precious reasons for getting the COVID-19 vaccine. During a press conference on Tuesday, the former executive director of the Little Tokyo Service Center shared his vaccine experience.
“My mother-in-law lives with us, she’s 105 years old and I just became a grandfather. Our daughter is very cautious, wanted to make sure we didn’t pass it on to her, so we were very happy we got the vaccine.”
