“Initially, I was hesitant to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but once I educated myself about mRNA vaccines and realized that the science was not new, I felt better. Trust the science. We’ve lost so many people to this awful disease, and vaccinations can help end it sooner. As a physician, I feel I have a duty to stop the pandemic by getting vaccinated and doing everything I can to stay healthy to care for others. I haven’t been able to see my mother and other older family members, and I really miss them. My mother is scheduled to have a vaccine, and hopefully, we will be able to see each other soon. We can all do our part to end the pandemic.”
