"How is it going? Does it hurt?" asked Marianne Shenry’s husband. "No, It doesn’t. But the doctor asked me to drink more water and not to bathe within these two days," Marianne replied. After being vaccinated at Jinjiang Municipal Hospital on the morning of June 23rd, she contacted her husband in the Philippines immediately and told him that everything had gone well.

Her husband is from Shishi, Fujian. They got married in the Philippines in 2011, and have 3 children now. Two years after marriage, she brought their children back to Fujian so that they could receive traditional Chinese education, while her husband stayed in the Philippines doing business. Only every one or two years does she go back to her hometown for a short visit.

Accompanied by her relatives, Marianne visited Jinjiang Municipal Hospital to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

"I feel much relieved after vaccination,"said Marianne happily. She has four or five Filipino friends here in Jinjiang who have also married the local people. She’d like to share this good news with them and tell them to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
