Alice and Sheryl Cooper received the COVID-19 vaccine at a facility in Phoenix.
In a video statement, the singer revealed that he and his wife had previously had COVID-19.
“But we were still vaccinated,” he says.
Sheryl Cooper added that the blow was “painless”.
The Coopers, who live in Paradise Valley, were there as volunteers with the Maricopa County Public Health Department’s Medical Reserve Corps to thank other volunteers, boost morale and promote vaccination.
They received their blows through the MRC.
Team Rubicon, a non-profit organization that matches military veterans with first responders to help in times of need, assisted on site with volunteer management.
“It was awesome,” says Rich Mogull, Phoenix Communications Coordinator for Team Rubicon. “The Coopers arrived and none of these volunteers knew they were going to be there. They got autographs and got to talk to Alice and his wife.”
The MRC provides over 100 volunteers per day to various immunization PODs.
Cooper joked that Team Rubicon is a great band, adding “I have all of their records. They really are one of the best bands I’ve ever heard.”
The singer went on to say, “Everyone here has been really nice. You don’t feel in danger of anything.”
Arizona allows people 65 years of age and over to make an appointment to receive the vaccines. Cooper is 73 years old.
