YESSSSSSSSSS! I am so glad this day is here! For me, getting a COVID-19 vaccine is like getting into college or getting a new car, it’s such a gamechanger! I am so thankful for TMH getting me in on day 1 in Tallahassee, Florida. And thank you to private industry for finding a solution to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
If you have any doubts about the safety of COVID-19 please read my previous blog posts. As a general pediatrician, I did a lot of reading, and the more I read, the more I wanted a COVID-19 vaccine. Yes, I may get a little soreness or a fever, but THIS IS PART OF THE VACCINE DESIGN. If the vaccine didn’t elicit any inflammation, then the body would not make antibodies against the COVID-19 spike protein.
Hopefully the general public will be vaccinated soon! I did not expect the vaccine to arrive until 2021!!!!!!!!
