In 2021, a coalition of national museum and library associations awarded the Peale (Baltimore, Maryland) a Communities for Immunity grant. The goal of the project is for trusted, local institutions to engage their communities in order to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence. Since being awarded the grant, we've been gathering stories from people about their experiences with COVID and getting the vaccine.
SJ (Sharif) (00:01): How y'all doing. My name is SJ. So what I think about COVID, I don't really know too much into it, but I had got the shot. It didn't really do anything, it just more like what I hear people saying about it and stuff like that.
SJ (Sharif) (00:19): And then I think it's slowed. A lot of people live down like, but I was an outside person, so I was mainly outside. So when COVID hit, I had to basically quarantine.
SJ (Sharif) (00:31): Yeah, quarantine, basically stay in the house, and that's what I really don't like about it. Everybody got to keep distance. I'm a people person, I missed the people I probably used to be around, and stuff like that. And yeah, that's about it.
SJ (Sharif) (00:48): And then mainly far as like, I play hockey, so we don't have no games no more, nothing like that. I miss being with my teammates and stuff like that.
