Question: Will you take the vaccine when it’s your turn?

Answer: Absolutely!  I want to protect myself and help stop the pandemic.  Evidence from robust clinical trials shows that the two vaccines authorized– Pfizer and Moderna– are safe and more than 90% effective at preventing disease. 

I recognize that many of us are hesitant about taking the vaccine and have important concerns that we can and should be addressing.  I also recognize that concerns vary from person to person.  If you’re someone who is hesitant, I invite you to share your concerns with me.  I’d welcome the opportunity to talk them through.  In the meantime, for more information on vaccine safety and efficacy, see Q&A of 12/16, Q&A of 12/17, and other #vaccine posts.
