C
Welcome
to
this
two-part
series:
let's
talk
about
the
covet
vaccine
part
two.
This
conversation
is
available
in
spanish
on
buncombe,
county
health
and
human
services,
facebook
page
I'm
carolina,
siliceo,
perez
assistant,
public
information
officer
and
community
outreach
coordinator
for
the
buncombe
county
sheriff's
office,
as
we
navigate
this
critical
conversation
together,
whether
at
home
work
or
assisting
our
loved
ones.
We
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening.
C
We
are
thankful
for
cincinna's
language
justice
services
and
our
asl
interpreters
as
we
strive
to
create
safe,
equitable
and
accessible
spaces
for
our
community.
We
are
also
thankful
to
the
ywca
for
helping
convene
this
conversation.
Dr
lavender
will
be
introducing
our
panelists
for
the
evening
and
will
be
facilitating
this
conversation.
D
D
Like
buncombe
county,
we
are
intentionally
holding
space
for
this
pertinent
conversation,
respecting
the
lived
and
the
historical
experiences
of
communities
of
color
seeking
medical
care
in
the
united
states.
In
part.
One
of
this
two-part
event
we
connected
with
trusted
community
voices
and
explored
the
history
of
mistrust
in
the
medical
system
by
communities
of
color
and
how
that's
influencing
individuals
perception
of
covet
19..
D
The
panel
offered
insight
and
possible
action
steps
that
are
vital
to
creating
a
culture
of
trust
between
the
medical
system
and
people
of
color
tonight.
In
our
second
town
hall,
we
have
a
panel
of
experts
who
are
integral
parts
of
the
vaccine
journey
right
here
in
buncombe,
county
from
pharmacists
to
community
healthcare
workers,
and
we
will
all
be
discussing
several
aspects
of
vaccinations
and
what
that
process
looks
like
before
we
get
started.
D
Please
know
that
we
won't
be
able
to
touch
on
everything
today,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
the
conversation
started
as
carolina
mentioned
after
tonight's
discussion,
the
buncombe
county
team
will
be
publishing
their
q,
a
q
a
and
it
will
be
live
on
buncombecounty.org.
With
answers
to
the
questions
we
receive
in
tonight's
town
hall.
So
please
feel
free
to
use
the
chat
in
this
sim
league.

A
E
Monica
hi
everybody
I'm
monica
dillingham
and
I'm
the
pharmacist
with
buncombe
county
and
I've
been
there
for
about
a
year
and
a
half,
and
so
my
role
with
the
coveted
vaccine
is
dealing
with
the
inventory
receiving
and
helping
to
get
the
vaccine
distributed
and
administered
out
in
the
community.
And
I'm
happy
to
be
here
thanks
for
having
me.
D
I'm
happy
to
be
enjoyed
by
all
of
y'all
as
health
advocates,
community
health
workers
and
a
pharmacist,
as
I
mentioned
in
part
one
of
our
series.
We
talked
about
the
historical
relationship
that
people
of
color
have
with
the
medical
community,
specifically
around
implicit
bias.
Can
you
all
say
in
your
specific
roles,
how
you've
identified
and
counteracted
by
it's
both
personally
and
with
your
colleagues
I'll.
A
A
A
If
we
don't
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
problem
in
like
healthcare,
related
iniquity,
inequity
disparities,
then
we
cannot
act
or
face
the
problem.
For
example,
I
checked
yesterday
at
the
north
carolina
health
department
of
human
services.
Website
vaccines,
which
is
a
big
topic
right
now
are,
are
showing
the
disparities
that
we
have
in
this
country.
A
79
close
to
80
percent
of
the
vaccines
have
been
administered
to
white
people
13.77
to
black
or
african
american
people,
2.47
to
asians
or
pacific
islanders,
2.34
to
hispanics
0.73
to
american
indian
and
then
the
other
one
point.
Five,
five
percent
to
you
know
undisclosed
races,
so
we
do
have
a
problem.
A
You
know
with
with
disparities
with
biases,
with
prejudice
with
you
name
it
we
have
to
advocate,
and
what
I
have
done
is
you
know
we
advocate
for
equity.
We
we
need
to
keep
saying
it.
We
need
to
keep
voicing
our
concerns,
and
this
is
what
I
have
done
personally
and
with
my
colleagues
where
I
work
and
then
you
know
I
try
to
say
we
educate
ourselves
about
the
the
problem,
but
not
use
education,
but
actually
action.
A
D
Problem,
that's
great,
and
at
least
I'm
probably
did
a
great
job
of
giving
us
sort
of
the
stats
of
where
we're
at
and
the
covet
19
vaccine
and
some
of
the
ways
that
we're
really
seeing
this
play
out,
not
just
in
our
county
but
our
country.
What
are
some
ways
that
you've
seen
it
and
your
role
as
a
health
advocate
and
ways
that
you
combat
it
in
your
personal
practice,.
B
You
know
that
that
maybe
I'm
putting
forth
myself
and
the
questions
or
the
ways
that
I'm
interacting
with
the
healthcare
system
or
even
patients
and
trying
to
really
bring
up
what
I
see
with
the
people
who
are
teaching
me
and
not
being
you
know,
like
empire,
was
saying
not
not
shying
away
from
putting
a
voice
to
that.
Naming
it
and
saying
hey.
B
B
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
doing
doing
the
research
getting
that
knowledge
so
that
when
I
am
practicing
and
when
my
feet
are
really
on
the
ground
working
with
patients
day
to
day
that
I'm
I'm
ready
to
be
aware
of
and
address
those
inequities
that
I
see
that
you
know
at
this
point
in
my
career,
I
can't
separate
health
care
and
equity
from
any
other
inequity
there.
I
there
is
no
difference,
you
know
if
you
can't
access
healthy
food.
I
can't
ask
you
to
have
a
healthier
diet.
You
know
there's.
B
There
is
no
difference
there,
so
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
reading
listening
to
an
incredible
amount
of
podcasts
by
black
and
indigenous
and
any
creator
of
any
minority
experience
that
I
can
get
my
hands
and
ears
on
and
and
really
trying
to
invest
in
this
area
too
and
understanding
appalachia,
especially
a
lot
better.
I
grew
up
in
north
carolina,
but
I'm
relatively
new
to
this
region,
and
I
want
to
be
sure
that
I
have
a
little
more
awareness
and
connection
to
what
is
actually
happening
to
the
people
in
this
place.
E
Yeah,
so
I
think
you
know
what
stands
out
to
me
is.
First
of
all,
I
can't
make
assumptions
you
know.
I
can't
assume
that
somebody
wants
to
get
the
doesn't
want
to
get
the
vaccine.
At
the
same
time,
I
can't
make
an
assumption
that
they
don't
want
to
get
the
vaccine.
I
need
to
just
have
open
ears
and
listen
to
what
they
tell
me
and,
I
think,
a
lot
of
times
as
healthcare
providers.
We
do
a
lot
of
talking
and
we
don't
do
enough
listening.
E
Sometimes
we
can
dominate
the
conversations
really
easily,
especially
if
you
know
we've
educated
ourselves
so
much
about
this
vaccine.
We
know
a
lot
about
it
and
how
it
works,
but
we
still
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
listening
to
people
as
much
as
we
are
talking
and
being
aware
of
their
their
needs
and
their
preferences,
rather
than
assuming
that
it's
one
way
or
another.
So
I
think
that's
one
thing
that
I
personally
am
working
on
is
just
having
open
ears
and
listening
as
much
as
I
am
talking.
D
You
know
speaking
of
listening.
This
is
really
a
really
organic
conversation
that
I
hope
to
have
with
all
of
you
all
about
my
own
personal
interest
in
getting
this
as
a
member
of
society
experiencing
a
pandemic,
so
I'm
ready
to
listen
and
learn
from
y'all
annalise.
I'm
gonna
start
with
you.
If
you
can
just
explain
to
me
the
science
of
a
vaccine
so
like
lifting
us
out
of
code
19
just
for
a
second
a
second
like
what
is
a.
F
D
B
B
It's
like
what
is
an
immunization,
very
plainly:
it's
a
tool
for
our
body
to
help
our
immune
system
boost
its
defense
against
germs,
without
a
person
ever
necessarily
having
to
get
that
illness.
I
mean
that's
the
goal
that
you
don't
get
sick
with
it,
and
so,
when
you
get
an
immunization
or
a
vaccine,
you're,
hopefully
preventing
the
disease
or
preventing
you
from
getting
sick
or
lessening
the
how
how
sick
you
get.
B
If
you
know
you
do
happen
to
get
sick,
so
basically
you're,
stimulating
the
immune
system
and
and
how
that
happens,
is
pretty
cool,
so
viruses
I
like
to
think
of
them
as
just
like
a
little
machine,
a
machine
that
makes
more
viruses,
that's
all
it
does,
and
that
is
all
that
it
is
packaged
to
do,
and
it
can't
actually
do
that
without
the
factory.
It's
just
kind
of
you
know
like
a
machine
sitting
on
on
the
sidewalk.
B
B
Have
this
great
system
set
up
where,
if
foreign
machines
come
in
or
like
a
machine
that
shouldn't
be
in
the
factory
is
in
the
body,
its
whole
goal
is
to
get
in
and
dismantle
it
so
that
it
can't
so
that
the
virus
doesn't
exist
anymore
and
can't
do
its
job
and
the
body
is
really
really
good
at
it
on
its
own.
Usually
that's
what
it's
designed
to
do.
B
It
wants
to
keep
you
healthy
and
safe,
but
the
body
can't
do
that
or
your
immune
system
can't
do
it
very
quickly
if
it's
never
seen
the
virus
before
it's
kind
of,
like
you
know,
we're
we're
talking
dr
lavender
and
I'm
like
meet
me
at
joe's
house
and
and
then
I
walk
away
and
I
leave,
and
you
are
the
body
cell
and
you're
like
well.
How
do
I
I
don't
know
joe?
B
B
Well,
the
vaccine
is
like
giving
you
the
address
so
that
you
can
get
there
quickly.
You
can
get
to
joe's.
You
can
reach
your
goal,
so
in
vaccines
you
get
like
a
little
piece
of
information
about
the
the
virus
that
your
body
is
trying
to
find
and
get
rid
of
and
like
the
address
to
joe's
house,
and
so
the
vaccine
goes
in.
B
B
D
B
Yeah,
that's
a
really
great
question.
Vaccines
have
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
they've
gone
through
many
different
designs
and
at
this
point
the
vaccines
that
we're
using
are
rarely
ever
the
live
virus,
so
you're
just
getting
like
a
little
piece
of
it.
Maybe
there
are
proteins
on
the
outside
of
a
virus.
B
It
kind
of
usually
lives
in
a
little
capsule
like
a
spaceship
or
like
it's
the
metal
encasing
on
that
machine
that
I
was
talking
about
so
you're
just
getting
those
pieces,
that's
something
really
distinctive
about
the
virus,
so
that
you
don't
have
to
introduce
the
virus
itself.
But
if
the
virus,
you
you
as
a
person,
do
come
in
contact
with
the
virus.
B
Your
body
recognizes
that
really
specific
piece
that
that
flank
of
metal
or
that
that
spiked
protein,
whatever
it
is-
and
it
says,
hey
I've
seen
this
before-
let's
go
get
that
and
get
rid
of
it
so
you're
not
getting
in
the
vaccine
doesn't
have
the
virus.
It
just
has
very
specific
parts
or
you
know
replicas
of
parts
of
the
virus
in
it.
So
it's
very
safe
and
then
some
people
also
wonder
you
know
like
if
there
isn't
any
virus
in
it.
B
Why
do
I
get
side
effects
or
why
do
I
feel
bad
after
getting
a
vaccine?
And
that
is
usually
just
because
your
immune
system
is
working,
the
body
is
doing
what
it
should.
It's
seen
something
different
that
shouldn't
be
there,
which
is
exactly
what
we
put
into
the
vaccine.
The
thing
that
shouldn't
be
in
your
body
and
your
immune
system
is
waking
up
and
it's
saying
hey,
let's
get
rid
of
that,
and
so
things
like
fevers
is
a
pretty
natural
immune
response.
B
It's
almost
like
cooking
the
bad
thing
out
of
you,
because
proteins
like
to
live
at
a
very
certain
temperature,
and
so
your
body
raises
the
temperature
so
that
you
know
those
things
break
apart
and
kind
of
they
don't
really
dissolve,
but
that's
kind
of
the
idea
or
you
know
getting
a
headache
or
sore
muscle
or
you
know,
kind
of
those
aches
like
the
flu.
That's
all
the
immune
system
itself,
not
the
actual
virus.
D
Wonderful
information
and
imagery
with
all
of
that
sort
of
background
and
understanding
about
what
a
vaccine
is
monica.
Can
you
walk
me
through
the
covet
19
vaccine,
specifically
some
of
the
ingredients.
I
understand
that
there's
different
types
of
the
vaccines
like
different
companies
made
the
vaccines
that
they
can
just
sort
of
walk
us
through
coven
19.
E
Yeah
sure
so
so
the
vax,
the
coven
19
vaccines
that
are
available
now
are
mrna.
Vaccine
and
mrna
stands
for
messenger
rna,
and
so
basically,
what
these
vaccines
do.
It's
mrna
is
a
strand
of
instructions
that
tell
our
muscle
cells
basically
how
to
make
the
little
spike
protein.
That
is,
on
the
surface
of
the
coronavirus
and
so,
like
emily,
said,
that's
very
distinctive
to
the
virus.
It
helps
your
body
recognize
it
very
quickly.
E
So,
basically,
what
happens
is
the
muscle
cells
are
given
instructions
through
the
messenger
rna
to
make
that
little
spike
protein?
They
present
it
onto
the
surface
of
the
muscle
cells
and
then
your
immune
system
starts
to
recognize
it
as
foreign
and
starts
to
make
antibodies
and
other
defenses
against
it.
So
there's
no,
like
we
said,
there's
no
virus
in
this.
It's
just
basically
a
set
of
instructions
that
tells
our
bodies
what
to
do.
E
I
think
one
thing
that's
so
neat
and
fascinating
about
about
the
development
of
the
vaccine,
so
there
it
even
though
it
seems
new,
and
that
is
a
new
technology
for
vaccines.
It's
been
studied
for
many
years,
even
since
you
know,
for
a
couple
of
decades,
they've
been
looking
at
this
as
a
potential
way
to
for
vaccine
development,
they've
even
studied
it
for
other
diseases
like
zika
and
in
cancer
research
and
even
for
rabies,
vaccinations
they've,
studied
it,
but
we've
never
been
in
a
global
pandemic
like
this.
E
Where
we've
been
to
the
point
where
we
needed
to
have
something
so
quickly
to
respond
to
this
emergency,
but
we
have
had
these
in
development
for
quite
some
time
in
terms
of
the
ingredients,
they're,
actually
pretty
simple,
there's
the
mrna
strands,
and
then
they
have
to
put
a
couple.
Other
ingredients
in
there
to
keep
it
stable,
mrna
by
itself
is
very
delicate.
It
breaks
up
and
breaks
apart
easily,
so
they
have
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
correct,
ph
balance
in
there.
D
Great
and
so
just
a
quick
follow-up
question
for
that,
viruses,
as
I
understand,
are
always
evolving
and
we're
seeing
new
covid
variants
discovered
you
know
throughout
the
world.
How
does
this
vaccine
relate
to
that?
Will
it
be
sort
of
like
a
flu
shot
where
you
have
to
get
it
every
year,
or
is
it
too
soon
to
tell.
E
It's
equally
effective,
so
you're
still
able
to
mount
that
good
antibody
response
for
the
uk
variant.
They
have
seen
a
slight
decrease
in
the
antibody
response
with
this
south
africa
variant,
but
they
still
see
good
antibody
production.
So
the
thought
is
that
it's
still
that
it's
still
effective
for
that
variant.
E
What
they're
studying
right
now,
both
moderna
and
pfizer,
are
possibly
an
a
booster
dose
or
a
third
dose
that
would
work
better
against
variants
as
they
are
discovered,
but
right
now
we
think
that
there
is
some
effectiveness,
good
effectiveness
against
the
variants
that
have
been
identified
and
then
in
terms
of
getting
it
every
year.
Some
you
know
we're
not
real
sure
how
how
long
immunity
is
going
to
last
from
these
vaccines,
because
they're,
new
and
they're
still
in
clinical
studies,
but
a
lot
of
experts
agree
that
we
may
that
it.
B
A
A
A
You
know,
because
the
more
people
that
get
infected
you
know
the
greater
the
chances
that
the
virus
will
mutate
and-
and
we
get
all
these
variants,
so
another
very
effective
way
is
prevention,
which
is
what
the
vaccine
is
doing.
You
know
the
more
people
that
get
the
vaccine,
the
less
chances
the
virus
has
to
keep
infecting
other
people
and
keep
mutating
and
to
have
all
these
performance.
A
D
I
love
the
way
you
explain
that
so
herd
immunity
isn't
something
that
we
should
be
relying
on
by
everyone
just
getting
sick,
but
something
like
a
goal
that
we
can
reach
by
prevention
else.
We
run
the
risk
of
mutating
the
virus
getting
too
strong
and
mutating
itself,
and
then
people
just
unnecessarily
dying
and
getting
sick.
D
Am
I
keeping
up
with
y'all
good
okay
monica
this
one's
back
to
you?
What
type
of
certification
process
do
vaccines
go
through?
So
you
sort
of
mentioned
that
the
vaccine
was
created.
It
seems
as
if
it
was
created
quickly,
but
we
had
the
historical
science
behind
it.
But
how
is
it
certified?
How
did
it
end
up
in
our
world
yeah.
E
So
so,
first
of
all,
there's
sort
of
this
preclinical
research
and
development
where
scientists
are
looking
at.
You
know,
what's
ineffective,
you
know
what's
effective,
like
we
mentioned
earlier.
What
is
that
peace
that
identifiable
piece
of
the
virus
that
our
body's
immune
system
can
recognize
very
quickly
and
start
to
make
our
body's
defenses
really
quickly,
so
that
kind
of
all
happens
in
a
pre-clinical
phase,
and
then
we
enter
into
what's
called
a
clinical
trial
and
there's
several
phases
of
that.
E
The
phase
one
in
a
clinical
trial
is
generally
where
they
take
small
numbers
of
healthy
volunteers
and
they
give
them
the
vaccine
just
to
test
out
what
the
right
dose
is
going
to
be
with
the
minimal
amount
of
side
effects,
so
they're,
basically
trying
to
come
up
with
what
what's
the
right
dose.
You
know
what
are
what
are
we
going
to
inject
as
a
dose
for
this
particular
vaccine?
They
also
are
looking
at
side
effects
into
phase
two.
E
You
know
they're
looking
at
larger
populations,
looking
at
side
effects,
then
in
phase
three
they
sort
of
roll
it
out
to
a
larger
number
of
people,
whether
that
the
question
there
is
well,
is
it
effective?
Does
it
work?
Does
it
keep
people
from
getting
sick?
Does
it
build
antibodies
against
the
virus?
E
After
the
after
they're
completed
the
phase
three
trials,
they
can
make
an
application
to
the
fda
for
approval,
and
this
is
a
process
that
all
medicines
and
vaccines
have
to
go
through
to
be
approved.
It's
just
an
in
in
the
case
of
a
public
health
emergency
there's
something
called
a
fast
track.
It's
like
we
have
enough
medications
for
high
blood
pressure
right
now.
E
So
if
you've
got
an
application
for
a
new
blood
pressure
medication,
you
might
get
pitched
to
the
back
burner
while
the
fda
focuses
on
what's
front
and
center,
which
is
our
coveted
pandemic,
and
so
they
kind
of
get
special
priority
with
the
fda
in
terms
of
looking
at
these
applications
going
through
all
the
evidence
and
making
sure
that
it's
you
know
safe
and
effective,
and
then
what
so?
That's
the
point
where
we
are
the
phase
phase
iii
trial
information
has
been
presented.
E
The
fda
has
approved
the
two
vaccines
mrna
vaccines
for
emergency
youth
use
authorization,
which
means
we
can
use
it
in
terms
of
this.
You
know
public
health
emergency
that
we're
having
and
then
they'll
go
into
phase
four
trials,
which
is
kind
of
longitudinal
or
longer
trials
where
they
answer
those
questions
like
well.
D
E
Yeah,
so
what
they
were
looking
for
was
number
one
they
were
looking
for
effectiveness.
You
know:
does
this
prevent
people
from
getting
sick?
The
other
thing
is,
they
were
looking
for
major
side
effects
and
you
know
generally,
what
they
saw
in
the
clinical
trials
was
similar
to
what
they're,
seeing
in
the
general
population,
with
side
effects.
In
terms
of
that
immune
response,
you
know
the
mild
symptoms
of
you
know,
fatigue,
maybe
achy.
Maybe
you
know
feeling
tired
or
low
grade
fever.
E
Things
like
that,
which
is
certainly
your
immune
system
kicking
in
gear,
but
they
were
looking
for
things
that
were
outliers
that
maybe
weren't
related.
You
know
to
the
immune
response.
They
look
for
allergic
reactions
and
things
like
that.
So
generally
and
another
thing
I
want
to
say
about
the
clinical
trials
and
what
I
think
is
impressive
about
these,
that
moderna
advisor
did
you
know
I
think,
some
of
the
clinical
trials
in
the
olden
days.
It
was
all
they
were
all
done
in
middle
age,
white
men.
E
You
know
you
didn't
have
a
good
demographic
of
people
that
gave
you
a
good
representation
of
what
our
u.s
population
looks
like.
So
the
good
thing
about
these
clinical
trials
is
they
had
a
good
representation
of
people
of
color
women.
All
the
age
ranges
from
you
know.
The
pfizer
trial
was
16
age,
16
all
the
way
up
to
age
85,
you
know
so.
You've
had
a
good
representation
of
all
the
groups
there,
with
the
vaccine
looking
effective
again
across
all
the
groups,
which
was
good
good
news.
G
D
It
was
created
so
now
that
we
have
an
understanding
of
what
a
vaccine
is
what
the
covet
19
vaccine
is
specifically
empire.
I
want
to
ask
you
if
I
am
deciding
to
get
the
vaccine.
Can
you
explain
the
process
of
how
one
signs
up
for
it?
Perhaps
maybe
we
can
start
with
just
the
phases?
Can
you
explain
these
phases
that
are
existing.
A
Yes,
so
we
have.
Basically,
we
have
guidance
from
the
cdc
that
these
states
are
following,
and
I
want
to
say
that
each
state
is
following
is
basically
making
their
own
guidance
from
the
cdc
guidance
in
north
carolina.
We
have
five
groups,
basically,
that
the
state
is
calling
the
distribution
groups,
so
in
group
one
we
basically
have
the
healthcare
workers
and
long-term
care
staff
and
residents
group
two.
We
have
the
older
adults,
those
people
that
are
65
and
older,
and
those
two
groups
are
the
ones
that
basically,
we
are
vaccinating
right
now.
A
Group
3
is
going
to
be
the
front
line,
essential
workers.
This
group
has
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
that
could
qualify.
You
know
for
the
vaccine,
like
people
that
work
in
transportation,
education
in
you
know,
food
processing,
implants
in
migrant
workers,
those
essential
workers
that
actually
have
to
work
in
person
and
have
been
working
in
person
mostly
for
the
whole
pandemic.
A
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
more
people
and
then
the
the
fifth
group
is
everybody
everybody
else
that
did
not
fit
into
those
other
four
groups,
this
these
groups
and
these
guidelines
and
like
with
anything
with
covet.
It
has
changed
a
lot
I
mean
monica.
You
can
attest
that.
Sometimes
we
don't
even
know
you
know
way
ahead
of
time
when
the
changes
are
coming.
A
Today
we
heard
from
the
governor
that
we're
gonna
open
on
february
24th
we're
gonna
open
one
of
the
groups
in
group
three,
so
group
three
has
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people.
We're
gonna
open
one
of
the
groups,
basically
for
educators,
and
this
will
be
teachers
from
kindergarten
pre-kindergarten
through
12
and
also
for
child
care
staff.
A
A
A
D
A
A
D
A
A
A
People
that
want
information
about
vaccines
can
go
to
your
spot,
your
shot.nc.gov
and
and
find
you
know,
information
about
which
group
they
belong
to
or
where
can
they
go
get
a
vaccine?
Are
they
eligible
to
get
the
vaccine
right
now?
Basically,
I
I.
I
also
know
that
this
state
has
vacunate.nc.gov,
which
is
in
spanish.
A
You
know
all
the
information
at
that
particular
site
is
in
spanish
and
and
then
also
at
the
top
side
of
the
website.
At
the
state
side,
you
can
actually
change
the
language
to
other
languages.
So
information
is
not
it's
not
a
problem
from
there.
You
know,
like
I
said
you
can,
you
can
get
a
link
to
local
facilities
that
are
doing
vaccinations
at
buncombe
county.
We
have
created
the
buncomberready.org
website
so
that
website
has
a
lot
of
information
as
well
about
you
know
the
wait
list
and
about
where
we
are.
A
A
People
can
also,
you
know,
sign
up
for
bc
alerts
and
and
if
you
dial,
if
you
send,
if
you
text
bc,
alert
just
like
that
bc
alert
together.
One
word
to
888
777:
you
are
you
sign
up
for
alerts
for
buncombe
county
and
as
soon
as
buncombe
county
opens
another
group
you
know
to
call
to
get
on
the
wait
list.
People
get
notifications
via
text
about
you
know:
okay,
we're
gonna
open.
A
A
828.419.0095
and
then
they
can
get
into
the
waitlist
that
way
so
many
different
ways.
Information
is
not
a
problem.
I
just
think
that
people
sometimes
don't
know
where
to
go.
You
know,
but
I
will
say:
google
it
if
you
are
in
doubt
call
your
health
department
and
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
out
there.
How
to
you
know,
get
on
the
wait
list.
D
A
Yes,
there's
a
lot
of
myths
and
rumors
out
there,
and
you
know
it's
human.
This
is
a
new
thing.
Is
people
get
nervous?
I
mean
you
know
some
people
think
it
just
like
they
made
it
so
quickly
that
maybe
they
did
not
make
it
right.
Well,
mrna
vaccines
have
been
studied
for
years.
I
mean
more
than
50
years.
It's
just
that.
You
know
this
is
the
first
one
we
have,
but
it's
not
to
say
that
they
have
not
been
studied
before
some
of
the
rumors.
A
A
A
A
Another
thing
that
I
have
heard
is
that
the
moderna
and
the
phytosterol
vaccine
were
actually
produced
using
fetal
fetal
tissue,
and
this
is
a
big
deal
from
for
some
of
our
christian
religious.
You
know
communities
in
in
the
research
that
that
I
that
I
have
come
across
to
and
and
and
basically
you
know,
the
paul
got
the
vaccine
right.
So
he
he
said
you
know,
I
mean
that's
a
rumor,
it's
not
true
for
modern
improviser,
there
were
no
fetal
tissues
used
to
produce
the
vaccine.
A
Again,
it
just
has
those
ingredients
that
we
keep
mentioning
and
then
another
thing
is,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
get
the
vaccine
because
I
might
be
pregnant
or
I'm
pregnant
or
I'm
breastfeeding
in
buncombe
county.
We
are,
if
you
are,
if
he,
if,
if
we
are
in
your
group
and
you're
pregnant-
and
you
want
the
vaccine,
you
can
get
it
in
buncombe
county.
E
E
What
kind
of
surrounds
and
wraps
that
mrna
molecule
or
strands
is
something
called
a
lipid
nano
particle
and
nanoparticle,
or
that
sounds
really
like
sci-fi
or
scientific,
and
it
almost
reminded
me
of
nanobots
or
like,
and
so
I
think
that's
where
that
misconception
comes
around
that.
Basically,
all
it
is
is
it's
little
tiny
particles
of
lipids
or
fats
that
surround
that
mrna
strand
to
protect
it,
because
otherwise
the
mrna,
like
I
said,
is
too
delicate
to
get
to
where
it
needs
to
go
to
give
those
instructions.
E
So
I
think
that's
where
that
misconception
comes
with
the
little
robots
or
microchips
and
things
like
that.
Another
thing
that
I've
heard
people
say
is:
oh
well,
I
can
stop
wearing
my
mask
now.
I've
had
both
my
doses
of
vaccine,
and
so
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
the
three
w's
wear
your
mask:
wash
your
hands
weight,
six
feet
from
others.
E
Until
we
get
a
you
know,
all
our
loved
ones
and
our
community
members
and
people
that
we
love
that
we
love
and
go
to
school
with
and
work
with,
like
until
everybody's
been
vaccinated
before
we
can
stop
those
social
distancing
and
those
precautions
in
terms
of
wearing
our
mask
and
washing
our
hands.
So
that's
one
thing
that
I
try
to
make
sure
that
I'm
telling
people
as
I'm
giving
them
the
vaccine.
You
know
remember
to
practice
the
three
w's
until
the
cdc
tells-
or
you
know,
until
we're
told
that
we
can
stop.
E
B
And
the
only
thing
that
I
would
add
is
a
conversation
that
I've
heard
a
lot
in
my
circles,
which
is,
I
think,
I've
already
had
covid,
and
so
I
I
don't
need
to
get
the
vaccine.
You
know
I'm
already
immune
and
you
know
I
was
also
doing
my
research
making
sure
that
I'm
telling
you
the
most
up-to-date
information
as
well
and
the
the
experts
are
really
indicating
that
it
is
still
appropriate
to
get
the
vaccine
even
if
you
have
been
sick
or
think
that
you
did
have
covet.
B
You
know
sometime
during
the
last
year,
and
you
know
monica
was
talking
about
you
know
if
we're
getting
this
vaccine
and
it
gives
us
some
sort
of
immunity
and
that's
kind
of
like
being
exposed
to
the
virus
too.
You
know.
Are
we
getting
the
vaccine
again
and
you
know
there
there
is
a
chance
that
that
could
happen.
They
may
be
developing
some
sort
of
booster
and
if,
in
your
mind,
it
helps
to
think
of
it
in
a
different
way.
D
Those
are
all
definitely
things
that
I've
heard
before,
especially
I
think
I've
had
it
before
or
I
think
I
would
be
okay
if
I
got
it,
I
noticed
that
a
lot
of
people
are
like
sort
of
weighing
their
options
of
getting
coveted
what
they
think
their
outcomes
would
be
and
getting
the
vaccine,
and
maybe
what
their
fears
are
of
that.
Do
you
all
have
any
sort
of
commentary
or
advice
about
someone
who's
in
that
boat.
A
Well,
you
know,
I
would
just
say
that
from
the
cases
that
we
have
seen
in
bingham
county,
like
we
have
seen
people
young
people,
older
people,
you
know
get
very
sick
and,
and
unfortunately,
like
I
said,
some
people
died
and
because
it's
a
it's
a
new,
you
know
virus
that
we
don't
know
everything
about.
We
don't
know
the
long,
the
long
effects
you
know
that
this
will
have
in
in
our
bodies
if
it
will
have
any
so
you
know
I
will
say,
prevention
is
the
key.
A
D
B
Sure
yeah
so
pre-getting
your
vaccine.
You
still
want
to
be
taking
care
of
yourself,
you
know,
wearing
your
mask,
washing
your
hands,
keeping
six
feet
distance
and
trying
to
reduce
your
risk
of
getting
sick
with
the
virus
beforehand.
So
you
know
monitoring
your
symptoms.
You
don't
necessarily
want
to
go
in
there
into
an
enclosed
space
with
a
lot
of
people
who
are
also
hoping
to
get
vaccinated,
and
you
know
accidentally
expose
people
to
the
virus.
B
So
that's
really
the
only
pre
vaccination
routine
that
I
would
consider
and
then
the
the
post
vaccination.
You
know
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
side
effects
that
you
might
expect.
Really
common
ones
are
feeling
feverish
or
a
little
flu-like,
so
having
kind
of
those
muscle
aches,
especially
in
the
back
or
a
headache.
B
Those
are
common
symptoms
and
those
are
signs
that
your
your
immune
system
is
is
doing
what
it's
supposed
to
do
and
you
might
also
like
I
had
have
a
you
know,
a
very
sore
muscle.
My
arm
was
really
sore
and
you
know
you
can
treat
those
symptoms.
You
can.
I
used
an
ice
pack
and
I
felt
totally
I
felt
much
better.
E
D
E
D
A
I'm
proud,
no,
I
go
first,
okay,
you
know,
I
will
say
it's
your
choice.
You
know
you
can
decide.
If,
if
you
want
to
get
it
or
not,
I
will
say
you
know
we
need
to
think
about
all
the
devastating
effects
that
the
pandemic
has
had
in
here
in
our
world.
In
our
communities
in
our
personal
life,
you
know
everything
has
changed.
A
G
A
A
You
know
go
to
reliable
sources
and
not
not
sources
that
are
just
scared
or
trying
to
make
people
scared.
You
know
and,
and
then
the
the
last
thing
I
will
say
is
you
know,
I
think,
is
our
our
duty
to
protect
ourselves
and
other
people.
Some
people
cannot
get
the
vaccine
some
people,
we
know
that
children
is
not
is
not
approved
for
children.
You
know
the
ones
that
we
have
right
now,
16
years
and
older,
and
even
though
you
know,
we
know
that
we
can
get
that
hurt
immunity
by
getting
the
disease.
E
One
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
when
you're
thinking,
and
so
everybody
has
to
make
that
decision
for
themselves
whether
or
not
they
want
to
receive
the
vaccine-
and
I
know
people
are
putting
a
lot
of
thought
into
this.
They
want
to
know
how
it's
going
to
affect
them
and
their
families,
and
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
thought
that
goes
into
this
and
it's
not
to
be
taken
like
lightly,
and
we
certainly
understand
that.
E
B
I
guess
if,
if
I
can
be
frank
for
a
moment,
I
would
also
think
about,
for,
I
would
think
about.
You
know
the
the
people
who
may
still
be
on
the
fence.
If
those
are,
you
know,
people
in
the
minority
community,
black
indigenous
hispanic
latinx
and
any
people
of
color,
the
impact
that
covet
has
had
like
umpire
was
talking
about
and
like
we
were
talking
about
in
the
last.
B
Let's
talk
series
and
has
has
really
it
has
come
for
the
black
community
for
the
latinx
community,
the
the
I
mean
there
has
been.
I
think
devastation
is
an
appropriate
word
and
and
all
of
the
times
that
we
as
a
community
talk
about
the
different
disparities
that
there
are
health
disparities,
socioeconomic.
B
You
know
everything
that
this
country
has
kind
of
designed
itself
to
to
perpetuate
this
virus
and
the
way
that
it
has
impacted
us
has
only
enhanced
that.
So,
if
you're
on
the
fence,
you
know
think
about
your
herd,
we
were
talking
about
herd
immunity,
it's
like
who
who
are
you
protecting
and
who
is
protecting
you
and
then
getting
this
virus?
Who
can
you
er
and
getting
the
vaccine?
Who
can
you
protect
and
then
your
family
members
and
your
and
your
other
herd
members
getting
the
vaccine?
B
You
know
how
are
they
protecting
you?
I
think
that's
a
really
important
question
and
if
you
are
one
of
you
know
a
person
in
a
rural
community
with
less
access
to
healthcare,
different
resources,
if
you
are,
quite
frankly
a
a
black
or
latinx
or
indigenous
person,
you
know,
I
think
it
matters
even
more.
Your
herd
is
more
at
risk.
Your
herd
is
more
exposed
to
to
the
elements
and.
B
That-
and
you
know,
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
think
about.
You
know
what
monica
was
talking
about,
how
how
will
it
impact
not
just
you,
but
also
the
people
that
you're
around
if
you
do
get
the
virus
and
you
are
not
vaccinated
versus
if
you
get
the
virus
or
get
exposed
to
it,
but
you
are
vaccinated
and-
and
I
think
that
there
there
is
no
reason
to
thin
any
of
those
herds
anymore
because
of
this
virus
than
what
is
already
happening
without
it.
D
Wow,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
engaging
this
conversation
with
me.
I
love
that
we've
situated
it
in
a
personal
choice
that
affects
others,
whether
it's
our
herd
and
protecting
us
from
getting
sick
or
thinking
about
who
we
can
transmit
to
based
upon
our
circles-
and
I
agree
annalise.
I
don't
think
our
herds
have
to
thin
anymore
than
they
already
have
with
that.
A
G
Won't
you
please
consider
accessing
all
of
the
resources
that
we've
talked
about
to
hold
a
conversation
with
your
loved
ones,
one
of
your
community
groups
or
your
faith
group,
or
maybe
your
neighborhood
association,
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
facts.
We
know
that
the
covet
19
vaccine
has
lots
of
confusing
information.
