Just Vaccinated by Nathan J. DiPerri & Julianne Frega

Our cartoon features an elderly couple joyfully embarking on their lives together as a newly vaccinated couple. This idea was born out of contemplating the ways in which the vaccination offers life a new beginning, the elation and relief one may feel upon becoming vaccinated, and the fact that it is a choice that most couples commit to together. The drawing was rendered in ink on Strathmore Bristol board.
