Adrianna, Leila, and Elyse Demarchi stood altogether for a picture with their thumbs up and big smiles underneath their masks flaunting their new vaccination status as of Monday.
Adrianna, a 9-year-old from Jamesville, said she’s just ready for this pandemic to end.
“I was excited,” she said about getting the vaccine. “[Because] I really want to be vaccinated.”
When asked why she wanted to be vaccinated so badly Adrianna said, “because I just want this to be over.”
Her sister, Leila, said she’s normally scared of shots, but this one was worth the pain. When asked what this meant to her, she said she finally feels safe.
For Austin Lyons, who also got the vaccine on Monday, he’s mostly excited to see his friends again.
“When I'm done I can like, go out and hang out with my friends again more,” he said. “I'll be able to go places without a mask sometimes.”
These kids were just a few of the 480 whose parents brought them to get the Pfizer vaccine at the first of four county-run clinics at Syracuse’s Civic Center. The next one is on Friday, November 12 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
