Ever since talk began of a need for COVID-19 vaccine boosters, I’ve been wondering whether I should get one when so many in the developing world haven’t had access to their first. Is there a way to assure that by my forgoing the booster, those otherwise without access will be provided one? I’ve spoken to several Mennonite healthcare professionals, and they advised to get a booster to protect others and help to eliminate the virus worldwide.

Spurred by Mennonite World Conference’s efforts described in “MWC: Love neighbors, share vaccines” (Sept. 29), I have decided that although my booster is free, I will “pay” for it by making a donation to UNICEF. UNICEF says $37 can provide 10 people with two doses of the vaccine, and $210 can provide 10 portable vaccine carriers.

Go to unicefusa.org/interfaithmovement, and, just above the red “donate now” button in the “select affiliation” dropdown, select Mennonite World Conference. Will you join me by “paying for” your vaccine and booster?
