Javier Báez films a PSA for Walgreens to encourage getting the COVID-19 vaccine. ‘The smart thing to do is to take it,’ says the Chicago Cubs shortstop.

It wasn’t a hard decision to take the vaccine, Báez said, because he has two young sons, Adrián, who turns three next month, and six-month-old Aiden. Báez inherently spends time around a lot of people because of what his job entails. Deciding to be vaccinated was a collective decision with his wife, Irmarie, who shared in an Instagram story this past week that she got her second shot.
