“I’ll give you the reason why I didn’t get vaccinated. It’s because I have health issues and I’ll be honest, I was scared of what might be the outcome and wasn’t too sure and didn’t have a lot of facts,” Rodriguez said. “This COVID is no joke. For me, I know what I need to do, and that’s get vaccinated as soon as I can.”
Rodriguez and his wife, Lynette Rodriguez, both tested positive for COVID-19. Rodriguez is continuing his recovery from the virus.
