Yes. COVID-19 vaccination is especially important Yes. COVID-19 vaccination is especially important for people with underlying health problems like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes and obesity. People with these conditions are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. #spreadfactsnotCOVID19
Yes. COVID-19 vaccines are being developed rapidly Yes. COVID-19 vaccines are being developed rapidly to fight the pandemic, but the fast-track process follows rigorous testing for safety and efficacy through vaccination trials. The vaccination trial process tests the vaccine in thousands of people, many of whom are at high risk if they contract the virus, and focuses specifically on the identification of common side effects or safety concerns #spreadfactsnotCOVID19
Chief Stevens is one of the first volunteers for t Chief Stevens is one of the first volunteers for the COVID-19 clinical trial in Vermont.

He knows that his fellow Abenakis may be reticent to sign up for a new vaccine; even his wife and children expressed trepidation about his decision to participate in the trials. That, he says, is precisely why he felt he needed to do it. Having seen firsthand how vulnerable some of his people are to COVID-19, he wants to lead by example.

“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors,” says Stevens. “As I fight for them, I fight for those who come next.”
Eighty-year-old Jean Rook had one thought when she Eighty-year-old Jean Rook had one thought when she heard that clinical trial testing for the COVID-19 vaccine would be happening locally: “Here in Vermont? Isn’t that wonderful!”

Rook jumped at the chance to participate. Having been a teacher, skier and sailor, embracing new experiences comes naturally. She and husband Charles, who moved to Vermont 19 years ago, have travelled to all seven continents and enjoyed many outdoor adventures, including kayaking and hiking. As a result, she’s even had a few significant interactions with the health care system prior to this: Two hip replacements and one bad ankle break (in Italy).

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned Rook’s life inward: To home projects, classical music, yoga and gazing at the view of Lake Champlain. She feels lucky compared to young families who are coping with the daily challenges of remote work and young children at home. “I have a lot of sorrow for the younger generations struggling with this,” she says.

Rook is happy to be doing her part. “I want to pay it forward. I’ve had a long, good life and this may be my last chance to give to my community in a meaningful way.”
