“I like to talk about how relationships are really the intervention. So, my relationship with my family member is the intervention to helping them understand vaccines. So, I am going to be more effective talking to my sister or my mom or my dad, then a stranger talking to them about the vaccine.”

It shouldn’t prevent us from moving forward, but it is an okay, it’s okay thing to feel.”
