THEY VIEW THAT VACCINATION IS SOMETHING THAT IS CERTAINLY A LIFE SAVING FOR THEM AND TO HAVE THE PEOPLE THEY'RE THE TEAM THERE, DO IT, SO. SO COMPASSIONATELY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THAT AND CARRYING. IT'S REALLY AWESOME IN OUR COMMUNITY. UH CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. SHIP RAINY, ROGERS WAS THERE.
