Hey there, it's Susan Davis.

And before we start the show, we want to ask you to support your local MPR station.

By supporting them, you're supporting all of us on this podcast.

Our lives were upended this year, and we at MPR and all of your local stations have tried

to cut through the noise to make sure you know the facts about the election, the coronavirus,

and so many other stories.

So if you've got some dollars to spare, head to donate.mpr.org slash politics to get started.

And thank you.

Buenos dias.

This is Lisa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I'm finishing up my very first semester

of medical school.

Today, I'm really excited because I'm getting ready to go to the hospital right now to give

some of the first COVID vaccines to our essential health care workers.

This podcast was recorded at 12.39 pm on Friday, December 18.

Things we have changed by the time that you hear this.

We care everyone and enjoy the show.

I think this is our second vaccine timestamp this week, and I can't get enough of them.

Bring on the vaccine timestamps.

I've never looked forward to getting a shot so much.
