J.C., 60, a Translator in Modesto, CA

After a strange year of semi-isolation and worrying, I am finally getting my first dose of the vaccine and I am very excited about it. I have a wedding to attend in April 2022, in Seville (Spain), and I am hoping that most of the countries achieve the so-called herd immunization, so that I can travel without restrictions and without fear of doing it. See you next year Spain! I’ve been one of the lucky ones to be able to work from home during the pandemic, but I miss the social interaction with co-workers, employees at restaurants where we used to eat lunch, as well as with friends and family. Fortunately, it seems we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with all available vaccines and, hopefully, very soon we will be able to reach that goal of 70% of the population vaccinated. We will keep our fingers crossed!
